I love Berets. Maybe that’s because I’m French, but I’ve always thought there was something elegant, vintage and also rebel about wearing a Beret. This Beret is my first Beret design, but probably not the last, and is part of my Tornado Collection.

Yarn
For this project I have used MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran, 100% Merino Wool. I really recommend this yarn. It’s good value for money, enjoyable to work with and gives stunning pieces of knitwear that last long.
