This is the perfect beret for using up odd balls of 4 ply, fingering and sock yarn. Using the travelling jogless stripes method for the body and twisted rib for the brim, this stylish Hat is perfect for gifts. Hat Description Anca’s Beret is a striped beret. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up, it starts with a twisted rib brim then increases outwards for a casual, slouchy fit. The body of the Hat features even wide stripes in two colours, which are continued into the crown. Decreases are spaced evenly through the crown and create neat vertical lines that converge in the centre top of the Hat.
