That pattern would be a good place to start as you only need to know how to do 5 things - cast on, knit, knit into the front and back of a stitch, knit two together and cast off. If you can do scarves you can definitely make one of these.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-15797751271231342092012-06-15T12:21:13.150+01:002012-06-15T12:21:13.150+01:00What a great little beret- I want one so much!

I can knit scarves (straight lines essentially), but just can't seem to get my head around anything else! xxxRosie Aliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710537601698244978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-5899492627595000042012-06-11T13:18:25.320+01:002012-06-11T13:18:25.320+01:00Wonderful!

A lot of vintage patterns use milinery wire; I'm sure if you got some very thin wire you could use that in the bows - DMC Memory Wire for crafting is good stuff, I used it to stiffen a knitted silk flower.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-47678599257171979052012-06-08T16:07:00.922+01:002012-06-08T16:07:00.922+01:00Wow gorgeous beret!

I love the colours you've chosen!!<br /><br />I have just finished knitting this pattern, as a stash buster for some Rowan Cashsoft, but I just cannot seem to get the flipping bows to look right at all (bit droopy!?) they certainly don't look as good as yours, I think Ill try again:)Wendy Bayfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221194102782712793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-5405682544072714652012-06-07T14:29:52.407+01:002012-06-07T14:29:52.407+01:00Niiiiiiiiice!!! :)Niiiiiiiiice!!! :)LandGirl1980https://www.blogger.com/profile/09549128222449333173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-32674877127608201522012-06-06T12:40:04.137+01:002012-06-06T12:40:04.137+01:00Oh, beautiful!
