I had about 4 oz of yarn which left me if two choices: mittens, or a hat. I thought the yarn would be to feminine for a boy, and its "crispness" would allow for stitch play.
Berets are great to show off a stitch pattern as they have a large section that sits in a disc fashion on the head, whitout being stretched or distorted.
I picked a lace pattern that radiates toward the center of the beret, it actually reminds me of ferns. I blocked the beret gently to open up the lace. I love the color, the slight silky luster, and the timelessness of the style.
The beret is now Miss SockPixie's.

What a beautiful young lady, and what a pretty beret!
Great work!
I love your work. Beautiful!
The beret was a very clever choice. It's as lovely as Miss Pixie.
Lovely!
The beret looks lovely. The shiny yarn looks awesome. I don't like to wear berets. My ears would freeze off, but I would love to knit them, because they are fast and display stitch patterns, or color work so beautifully.
How beautiful!
Gorgeous beret, and yarn. Will this be a yarn base you will be dying in the future?? (hope so!)
Love the beret and yarn! Will this be a yarn base that you will be dying and putting up for sale sometime? (Hope so!)
