This super-slouchy beret and adorable little purse are the perfect accessories for the Elemeno Pea Coat.

The beret has a cable band that is knit flat and grafted together. Then, stitches are picked up and is knit in the round. The severe decrease gives it a gathered look.

The pouch is knit flat and has a wonderful cabled flap that secures the contents with a button.
