The design is also available as a yarn kit by fraukuhn.

Bern is a modern unisex design using basic crochet stitches and intelligent shaping to create a well-fitting beanie.

Instructions are given in written abbreviated form and US terms.

Bern is the capital city of Switzerland. This is where I have been living since my move to Switzerland in 2017. The city’s relaxed and slow lifestyle is perfect for slowing down, taking a deep breath and enjoying life. It also nurtures opportunities to develop new design ideas and skills.
