Not long ago I decided to make another beret for Jim's mom. She really enjoyed the first beret I made her a couple of years ago and wears it constantly. I had in my mind what I wanted, and being that this time of year there are lots of toques, slouches to be found, but that wasn't her style.
Once I started reading the Ravelry notes from other knitters who made this (this is the part that can confuse me) it appeared that this hat might be big. So I followed one persons suggestion to knit the brim in the small size and increase to adults size later. So glad I did as I can see it would have been too big for my mother-in-law. To be honest I feel I could have gotten away with making this all in the smaller size.
Yarn: Jamieson & Smith together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze
I was so happy to get such a great photo of Lillian with her new Beret it looks so great on her ! Very soft and feminine. Lillian is very happy with it, bonus !

p.s. it just happened the day she received her beret..she was wearing the exact shade of lilac as her hat. Perfect photo.
Oh, this hat just looks so lovely on her! Glad she likes it :)
