Silphion is a two cable technique beret with regular cabling and Twisted stitch cabling of entwined hearts. I like an oversized beret so I designed three sizes, the small is a good fit for a child, the medium for someone with a small to medium sized head, and the large for someone like me with a large sized head and a lot of hair.
