Lattice Beret - Knitting Pattern

I designed this hat for my sister, who is much more classy than I. It is super simple to make, and a quick knitting project. I used a red chenille yarn, with a silver sparkle thread in it.




You will need
1 ball of yarn. Actually, half a ball is probably enough too.
5mm needles
7mm needles

On 5mm needles, cast on 70 stitches
Rib 6 rows.

Change to 7mm needles
Repeat the following rows over the next 12 rows.

Cut yarn with 30 cm remaining for stitching up. Slip stitches onto thread, and pull to tighten. Stitch up the two sides.

Add 2 twisted yarn tassels at the top.
