Swirly Beret (Crochet, Version B)
WEB EXCLUSIVE

"The seemingly endless supply of fabulous sock yarn on the market today means you can make one of these stylish hats to coordinate with almost any outfit!" exults Temple. "This lightweight beret can be worn at a jaunty angle, and the swirling loops add more visual interest without making a fabric that is too airy to be warm." We love how the overall effect, in the piece's natural whorl pattern, looks like a seashell; each beret provides its own unique nacre to gaze at. Looks like one of those addictive patterns you'll never get tired of making... Gauge is 10 sts and 11 rows to 2" (5cm) in sc with a size F/5/3.75 hook. American crochet terminology. This is the same pattern as this one, but shown in a different yarn.
