Lookie how pretty my lucky beret looks now that it's all done and lying all flat! I've never had a beret that looked perfectly round and beautiful when it was merely sitting on the floor. It seems almost a shame to put my head in it! I really enjoyed this pattern (except the silly knit-it-flat-and-seam-it bit that I ignored). It was super simple and fun. The pattern called for a poofy pompom on the top, which looked good in the picture, but my yarn color choice was perhaps a little unfortunate.

Eggs sunny side up, anyone? I fear that red would look like the cherry on top of a sundae and pink could turn it into a cupcake on my head. Soooo, no pompom for me. S'alright because it looks pretty darned good without one.

And check out how awesome the so-called "wrong" side looks!

I may actually end up wearing it more this way than the other! It's so much softer on this side too, since it's all knit stitches in that yummy Malabrigo.

I probably won't end up wearing it this next way, but it is funny how, if I pull it up just right, it kinda looks like chef's hat.

(Or, I know, could be a chess piece for next Halloween!) Seriously, folks, I love love love the hat. It's soft and warm, goes with everything, is reversible and just a little bit silly.
