The Beatnik Beret

I know nearly three weeks have passed since I wrote about my inspiration for the Beatnik Beret, but it feels as if it was just yesterday. This project was like a whirlwind for me. It when from conception to physical item and then to my testers in less than three days. And now here I am, releasing it to the world. It helped that I had the perfect yarn on hand, Universal Yarn’s Uptown DK, but what really made the whole process go along so quickly was the simplicity. The pattern utilizes two stitches: sc and sc-blo. They give it this great texture and a mindless repeat, which makes it a nice Sunday afternoon project.

Beatniks unite! Whether you’re fighting convention, slinging syllables, or sipping espresso, you’ll be one cool cat in the Beatnik Beret. Made top down in continuous rows, this hat as two inches of give and works up quickly. One Size Fits Most: 20 inch circumference stretches up to 22 inches.
