Cashmere and wool beret from the book Simple sewing with a French twist.
After managing to lose both my berets in less than two weeks, including my all time favorite 🙁 I found myself both cold, sad and somewhat desperate. Also I didn’t want to commit yet again to something nice store bought that I would forget on the bus in a matter of weeks. So I decided to try the beret pattern from the book Simple sewing with a French twist by the stylist Céline Dupuy.
I bought the book on a whim a couple of years ago, lured by the amazing photos and styling, but was a bit disappointed with the content, mostly because the book is more eye candy than packed with exciting projects. This beret however stood out, and now I am really glad I finally gave it a try. This beret was ridiculously easy to make and the whole project took about an hour. I have reviewed the pattern over at Pattern review. If I stick to these kinds of projects I might actually be able to update my blog with finished projects more than twice a month…
