Spring Beret in Worsted Merino Superwash

Posted by Allison | Apr 7, 2013 | Design/Patterns | 5

We are now officially closer to the summer solstice than the winter solstice. I can feel my spirits lift as the days grow longer. When it comes to knitting this time of year, my fingers itch for transitional knits that remind me of the early crocuses that start to pop up at my mom’s house in New Jersey. I envision wearing on these (sometimes) frosty mornings an oversized, cheerful beret to chase the chills. An accessory that welcomes spring and sloughs off the winter doldrums. My spring beret is knit with one skein of Worsted Merino Superwash in a...

With winter dragging on, and the days getting a bit longer, I thought I would like something to perk up the winter doldrums. This great yarn, Coffee Beenz, part of Plymouth’s Encore Family, popped onto my needles. I love the sophistication of the outcome and the durability of the fiber content.
