Lace Pattern Beret & Mitts by woolly-minded-knits I designed this pattern to produce a neat, French style beret with just enough ‘slouch’ to give a fashionably casual air when worn.

This yarn comes as a worsted double knitting weight in 50g/110m balls, available in environmentally friendly un-dyed natural fleece colours.

Materials 2.75mm knitting needles 3.25mm knitting needles Although this beret is knit flat and then seamed, you may find circular needles easier to use than straight needles as there are a lot of stitches. 3 x 50g Latton Alpaca DK yarn should be sufficient for both the beret and the mitts Darning needle to sew seam Tension: In my experience, tension varies greatly between different yarns types and also depends on the mood of the knitter!

Lace Pattern Beret & Mitts by woolly-minded-knits
I designed this pattern to produce a neat, French styleberet with just enough ‘slouch’ to give a fashionably
casual air when worn.
MeasurementsRim of beret measures approx. 21” when blocked. Mittsto fit average hand. Remember that natural yarns are
quite elastic, so your beret and mitts will grow a littlewith use.
Yarn notesI was inspired to create this pattern by the delightfulalpacas and their gorgeously soft yarn available justdown the road from me at lattonalpacas.co.uk – I thinkthat yarn miles matter as much as food miles! This yarn
comes as a worsted double knitting weight in 50g/110mballs, available in environmentally friendly un-dyednatural fleece colours. The beret and mitts each took
about one and a half 50g balls of Latton Alpaca yarn; so3 balls should be just about enough to knit both.
Of course, any double knit yarn can be used but thesemay give differing results and differing quantities maybe needed.
Materials2.75mm knitting needles
3.25mm knitting needles
Although this beret is knit flat and then seamed, you may find circular needles easier to use than straight
needles as there are a lot of stitches.3 x 50g Latton Alpaca DK yarn should be sufficient for both the beret and the mitts

Break off yarn leaving a long thread. Using darningneedle draw thread through remaining stitches andfasten off.
To make up beretFasten off securely and weave in all ends. Join seam
