Lettuce Beret

Lettuce Beret

I haven't been excited about making a blog post about a failed project, so this is way overdue. A couple of weeks ago I finished a simple beret based on Laura Chau's Lightweight Raspberry Beret pattern. It's my third time knitting it. The previous times the hat turned out larger than I preferred, so I went to the other extreme and made this one too small. Even aggressive blocking over a balloon didn't fix it. I think it's time to move on to other hat patterns! I love the yarn, though, Malabrigo Sock in Lettuce.
