I originally designed this beret to be knitted from commercial DK yarn, but when I came to knit it up I discovered the perfect fibre right there in my stash. So I thought, why not? And then I realized that it’s actually a great project for showing off your hand-spun yarn. You could even knit each segment in a different yarn if you like; you just need a complementary yarn as the contrast colour to tie the whole thing together.
