Charlston Beret

Charlston Beret is great for practicing stitches..

  • alternating rounds of different stitches create a special texture
  • The uniquely different aspect of this pattern is the spike stitch that I’ve used to blend the color changes. While multiple colors are not vital (you’ll get texture in this case), make your color changes before the spike stitch rounds for best effect
  • Create using 2 or 3 colors for best effect, although a solid color works, too.
  • make this to whatever size you need - add or reduce the number of increase rounds to adjust. The written pattern will fit a medium ladies head.
