Berets are versatile, timeless classics and satisfying knits. This updated style features a graphic band and an engaging lace pattern knitters of all experience levels will enjoy. You need just a bit of contrasting color for the Latvian braid band, so one skein of each yarn is enough to make both color combinations!
