Lace Cotton Beret

This pattern is designed for new knitters who want to create something elegant without complicated charts or advanced skills. The beret is worked flat, back and forth in rows, then seamed at the end — perfect for anyone who prefers straight needles. The lace pattern is created with yarn overs and directional decreases, giving the beret its delicate texture. This design is knitted with DROPS Loves You 7 held double (two strands held together), resulting in a soft structure and crisp stitch definition — ideal for spring, summer, and early fall. Whether you're knitting for yourself, a loved one, or your handmade shop, this beret works up quickly and looks effortlessly stylish. ⚠️ Important Notes: This is a digital download (PDF) and not a finished product.
