Wave Run Beret
…….
Simple, stylish and practical, this whimsical lightweight beret belongs on a yacht as much as it does on a fishing boat, or in a seaside café for that matter… And as we wear it out and about - let’s face it, most likely running errands - we can surely dream of the sea. Happy nautical dreams!
A short and sweet instalment in the Irish Waves collection, the Wave Run beret can be knitted from the tip down or from the brim up, with instructions for 3 sizes. The striking waves motif consists of simple increases and decreases, making this a surprisingly beginner-friendly pattern. It is also quite quick and addicting. You will likely want one in several colours!
This pattern includes written instructions, as well as a chart.
