Studio Beret Using Rowan Felted Tweed Aran & Kidsilk Haze
The Design
With Gallic or Highland flare, a beret or tam is flattering on virtually everyone. Its slightly slouchy shape can be pulled this way and that for style or down over the ears for warmth. The Studio Beret is made with a tall band, roomy crown, and a chunky-weight yarn knit on smaller needles for a little more sculptable structure and warmth.
We knit this Studio Beret with one strand of Rowan Felted Tweed Aran and one strand of Kidsilk Haze held together throughout. A blend of wool, alpaca, and viscose, Felted Tweed Aran’s rustic good looks are perfectly complemented by the silky softness of Kidsilk Haze, a blend of super kid mohair and silk. We just love how those flecks are muted and integrated into mohair's halo!
