Ber-ate me for wearing this or think ber-aayyy I want one of those, too. Either way.

I finally made another beret that I adore, but actually wear this time! Instead of knitting yet another beret I would never wear despite loving, I decided to give a crocheted version a whirl with this beautiful yellow yarn I had laying in my stash--just enough for a small cap, not quite enough for anything else, like mittens or scarves.And I must say, I couldn't be happier, as evidenced by the photo of me wearing this lovely cap in work. I often don't have time to leave the house in the morning with dry hair and this hat was a perfect life-saver, keeping the hair tucked in so as not to freeze as soon as I hit the arctic mass, and not giving me the slightest bit of odd hat hair.Golf, freaking, claps.The crochet pattern was basically conceived as I went along and after it was complete I worked in some skinny elastic along the chained edge so the beret would actually stay in place--the key to a successful beret-style hat. My only disappointment is this yarn can be a bit fuzzy, thus the balls of fiber accumulating at the top and turning bits of it a tad furry. I hate that.Besides that I hope to have time to write up a pattern soon and maybe consider making it again with a less fuzz-inducing fiber, but until then...swoon?
