52 Knits // Brambles Beret

Pattern: Brambles Beret by Amanda Muscha

Yarn Used: 86 grams of Drops Lima (65% wool, 35% Alpaca)

Needles: 4mm and 4.5mm circular needles

Modifications: none
Model: my friend Julia

Note: This is one of the patterns that I've had in my queue for years. I'm not a beret person so I'll probably gift it to someone for Christmas but I loved the pattern so much I just had to knit it. It was much quicker than I had expected; it would've been an even quicker knit if I hadn't messed up the cables and had to undo the whole thing when I was already at the decreases... I suggest highlighting the different cables because in the chart it's easy to mix them up. Especially when you're sitting in a dark restaurant trying to knit pretty much in the darkness...

I knitted the smallest size for the brim and the largest size (the entire chart starting from row 1) for the body.

This is project #23 of 52

As part of my 2012 goals, I want to finish 52 knitted items this year. You can see all the items I knitted so far on my blog or on ravelry.
