French chic paired with adorable rabbit details to pep up your or your kid’s wardrobe with woodland vibe. This beret is loaded with high happiness and perfect for Easter time, spring or just for fun for everybunny! Worked bottom-up and in the round, it is topped with a pom-pom to connect you with your inner cottontail.

This beret is worked in two parts. First, the brim is worked flat as a long strip with cable crossing in the middle of the band, then stitches are picked up along the edge and the hat is worked in the round bottom up. The ears are worked separately using double knitting to create two layers of fabric at the same time and then attached to the top of the beret.
