A palette cleanser, this little project! I am getting ready to launch my Scatness Tunic which will take forever: tiny yarn, lots of stitches. So, I knit up this little hat to be able to finish something this century!
It is called Very Pretty Lace Beret by Vera Sanon. I used some Sun Valley yarn that I had in stash but had already rolled into a ball – no band to be found!! I don’t know exactly what it is but I bought it last winter. It is incredibly soft and the color is very pretty. My daughter said it is one of the fashion colors this year. 🙂
I changed the ribbing so that it flowed into the patterning. It really bugs me when the ribbing looks disconnected. I like the lace — looks like a Japanese stitch pattern.
I did cast on the Scatness while this was drying. Ho hum. I am already slightly bored with it. 🙁 Not a good sign!! But I really would like to wear it this fall, so I will plug away on it. I am also chipping away at Laura’s dark blue Hito.
PS — Stashdragon asked me to include the details about how I changed the ribbing on my Very Pretty Lace Beret Ravelry project page…I had already done so! 😉
PS2: I finished the corrugated ribbing on Scatness – yay! For the larger sizes you do additional rows…it looks a little rough because it is really wooly wool! True shetland.
