Ishbel Beret

£3

The Ishbel Beret is also available as part of the Whimsical Little Knits Collection

My friend Rebecca had yarn leftover from her Ishbel and wanted a beret pattern that would go with the scarf. So this one’s for you Rebecca. A slouchy beret featuring the same stitch patterns as the Ishbel pattern with decreases worked into the lace pattern on the crown. A foldover hem creates a neat band that gives a stable edge to the lightweight fabric.

Both written and charted directions are provided for the lace.

Notes

This pattern is a pdf file, which you will be able to download once your payment is complete. All payments are processed by paypal but if you don’t have a paypal account you can use your credit card to make a payment without needing to set one up. If you use a paypal account without funds in it that is not associated with a credit card paypal will process your payment with an echeque, which means there is a delay of several days while the payment is transferred from your bank account. I don’t mind accepting this type of payment, but please be aware that you can avoid the delay by paying with a credit card.
