Classic beret merino plum purple sage green by SpinningStreak

This is my mother's classic beret pattern, handknitted in a pure Merino wool. I used three different sizes of needle to achieve that perfect beret shaping - and this particular yarn holds the shape well. The colours are rich but muted - plum purple, green and heathery grey. The hat is easy and comfortable to wear. This one is slightly less full - it measures 10.25 inches diameter across the flat top and just under 20 inches in circumference at the unstretched brim.
