Demeter was the Greek goddess of the harvest and is usually pictured with sheaves of wheat or fruit and vegetables. The twisted stitches in this beret twist away from each other in imitation of an ear of wheat and the gently undulating ridges of the finished hat give it a lush, organic shape reminiscent of autumn fruits and harvest festival displays.
