Edith
Edith started with a gorgeous skein of Metamorphosis from A Verb for Keeping Warm. I fell in love at first sight with the rustic texture and the beautiful biscuit color. It had to become something special, something that would show off the yarn to great effect. The resulting Faye Dunaway style beret and cravat will coordinate perfectly with a fitted fall sweater or a winter coat. There are two options listed for the beret, a shallow style, as shown, or a slouchy fit for a more modern look.
SIZE
Hat: One size fits most adult heads at the brim. Options are given for a shallow or a slouchy beret.
Cravat: to fit neck sizes 13 (14, 15, 16, 17) inches
MATERIALS
- 1 skein of A Verb for Keeping Warm Metamorphosis will work for both shallow hat and cravat in all sizes. More yarn is needed for slouchy hat and cravat. Shallow hat is pictured.
