Overview
The Bryanston Beret is one of my earlier designs that has been reworked and is now available in 2 variations. The original 2 colour version (shown in khahi and burgundy) and a new ‘inside out’ (striped) version.

This second version is literally knitted inside out so the lovely texture pattern emerges on the ‘wrong side’ from the ribbing upwards and you just flip the hat the right way once you’re finished.

The stitch pattern creates a bouncy fabric which allows you to block it as a slouchy beanie or a beret/tam shape depending on which you prefer.

This beret allows you to showcase the great colours of hand dyed yarns alongside a solid or tonal main colour. You don’t need very much of these striking contrast yarns to make an impact with this design. As such it is perfect for leftovers of a favourite yarn.
