With a touch of the 1960s but also bang up to date, this beret should thrill any modern vintage fan. It’s knitted in a soft wool-mix yarn and worked on big needles—so you’ll find it comes together pretty quickly. I’ve knitted this version in a gorgeous sugar almond pink, which I thought would be perfect for breezy days in spring. But the yarn range includes all types of colors, so have a browse through and grab your favorite.
