 Spectacle Beret

    by Anne Kuo Lukito

                          

 

 

 

 

       

I never know when I might find inspiration. In the case of Spectacle Beret, inspiration came when I went to a vintage store and spotted a mid-century modern piece of furniture followed by a perusal of one of my favorite home magazine.

This beret is worked from the bottom up with a corrugated brim. The patterning is achieved though the stranded colorwork technique.

Currently, Spectacle is only available for purchase at your local yarn store or via PDF download from Bijou Basin Ranch.

Spectacle will be available on Crafty Diversions and a wider wholesale distribution after June 2011.
