Kraktoplet by Agnese Iskrova

Classic seamless beret with separately knitted tentacle embellishments. The beret base is clean and straightforward; the tentacles are worked independently in any contrast yarn and attached to create the characteristic cephalopod effect. Stash-friendly by design — no specific contrast yarn required.
