Knit and Photographed By: NutmegOwl
Pattern: Ishbel Beret by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: Sundara Yarn sock yarn in a Limited Edition colorway
Needles: US 3 and US 7
Finished Size: Medium- but less "slouchy"
Pattern Modifications: I used a picot turning edge on the brim to add some visual interest, then repeated the vine lace pattern for the minimum amount of repeats for the medium size, per the pattern notes.  The result is a beret with some, but not to much "slouch".
Notes: The semi-solid colorway gives it a depth unachievable with a solid yarn.  Sock yarn is perfect for berets and hats- it has bounce, and blocks wonderfully over a large dinner plate.
