I picked up this pattern in the middle of boredom where I was knitting mostly for simple gift project. The iconic Kuutar lace chart looks very complicated, but because it’s such as small project, it’s actually a pretty quick knit.

Retrospective

Knit as per the pattern. The only thing I wish I could change is its size. It looked so small before blocking, after blocking (using a 25cm dish plate) the diameter is 24.5cm. It fits my head, but could be larger and therefore much slouchy. I measured my other beret and they are almost 30cm. I think for my next beret, I could aim for something around 26-28cm.
