Saturday afternoon it was time to get to cleaning up after all the preparations for the Christmas holiday. There were stacks of yarn all over the place, falling off shelves, jumping out of strange corners.
In a true moment of disgust, I pulled in some plastic storage boxes, rummaged through forgotten stash, and threw out some yarn I couldn’t stand, and sorted out some to give to my mother-in-law. Finally, I divided out heavier weight yarns, lighter weight yarns, and UFOs into three containers.
Mission accomplished, I found knitting accessories, needles, and all sorts of things. Organized for a little while! (Some is already escaping . . .)
And, needing some mindless knitting, I pulled out the last of the Lamb’s Pride, and voila, a beret! This will be sent along to Judy (MIL) with some sock yarn I don’t like, but she does. And for the viewing public, I present you with the
Eyelet Rib Beret
This is a very simple eyelet rib pattern, with a total of 7 stitches and 4 rows. The ribbed quality of the beret makes the hat keep its shape, despite the high number of stitches. This hat will stretch out, so if your hair is a mess and you are just knotting it up to hide it, this beret should be able to handle it.
