This pattern is part of the Knits for a Cold Climate Collection. You can see all the patterns from the collection here.

This fabulous ensemble of pattern from Karie Westermann provide instructions for both the delightful Fair Isle beret and three sizes of shawl - a neckerchief, a small scarf and a shawl.

The beret is knitted in the round with pretty Fair Isle bands running round the circumference before the crown is shaped and topped off with a stylish felted pom pom. The three shawls all feature a stylish striped pattern edging the traditionally constructed triangular shawl. The dainty neckerchief can be finished with ties and felted pom poms to match the beret.

Both written and charted instructions are provided. The beret uses stranded knitting and is worked in the round from the bottom up. The shawl is knitted from the top down using a classic triangular shawl construction with the addition of a stunning stripe pattern. Both the beret and shawl can be customised with felted pom poms and ties to hold your shawl in place.
