Portland is it's usual lovely, rainy self and I decided it was time for a beret to cheer up the end of winter. I used Malabrigo Worsted that I got at Yarn Garden and a large crochet hook so you can whip this up in no time. The Pink Frost color works almost like a neutral so you can wear it with everything. Hope you enjoy it!
As usual, feel free to use the pattern to make something for yourself but please remember to reference me as the designer. Thank you!

I love hats, and I love Malabrigo Worsted, so a hat out of this beautiful yarn seemed appropriate. Berets never go out of style so I decided to update it by using a worsted weight yarn with a larger crochet hook. It’s a quick and easy accessory, perfect for the last bit of winter!
