autumn beret


another finished handmade
this one for "the middle child"
it joins in with the march monthly make
this is the columbia beret
a super easy pattern
i adjusted the size simply by dropping the hook size to 4.00mm
it fits my girls, so between 5 - 8 yrs


i used an 8ply moda vera pure wool in vermillion
 some of it was left in my stash, but i needed an extra skein to finish
its on special this week for $2/50gm ball
from that place we don't mention
it took just two balls of wool

now to make the next one !

    Hi, I passed by another blog and caught sight of Killiecrankie - someone here in Scotland I thought but no you're on the other side of the world - I'm a little lower than scotland, in the yorkshire dales. I have a cousin working out in Tasmania but retiring soon back to New Zealand where she emigrated to 40 years ago. I am an avid hand spinner and bless her she sent me some tasmanian alpaca fleece to spin - so many connections. Love your crocheted beret - I tend to go more for the finer stuff but I could be tempted!! It was good to 'meet' you, call in on me any time!!! :)
