Pattern Details

The Homegoing Beret, is a slouchy beret which incorporates both lace and stranded colourwork. The Beret begins with the folded brim, knit in a 1x1 twisted rib. An increase round is then worked to create extra width for the Beret. The pattern then follows a chart, which starts with a simple lace pattern and ends with a stranded colourwork motif.

Two motif charts are available to use. Each chart represents 1 section on the Beret - there are 6 sections in total. You can use the same motif for each section or alternate, the decision is yours!
