This saucy little beret was designed to bring a little skip to your step, as you walk out of your house in style.

Knitted in the round with a worsted weight, hand dyed superwash wool; you will stay warm and chic at the same time.

The chevron pattern on the body of the hat is created with simple increases and decreases; the bow is optional and added last.
