Buttercup Beret - Free Knitting Pattern

I just fell in love with this yarn when I found it at Noe Knit. Crystal Palace Creme is a silk-wool blend, and has just the perfect amount of fuzzy-halo-ness for a beret. But what really got me is the color. Not quite mustard, but not quite gold, it’s so pretty and surprisingly versatile.

I had trouble finding an appropriate beret pattern to really show off the yarn, so I created this lovely cabled beret pattern. The shape is softly rounded, so it looks great pulled down low to keep your ears warm, and it’s a quick and satisfying knit.

  1. Hi Katie here from the Twin Cities-Minnesota. I stumbled upon your blog in two unrelated web adventures last week. I enjoy your aesthetic, photos, and writing very much. This beret pattern is a beauty and that yarn is gorgeous.
    Cheers!

  3. This is a beautiful pattern. The alternating cables really give it a nifty texture. I just started knitting, but it’s going in my ‘future projects’ file! Thanks for posting it.

  4. A great pattern! I’ve been thinking about a new beret — now I have the impetus to start. I’ll follow up at Wardrobe Refashion. Thanks, Sarai!

  9. Lovely pattern. Thanks so much for sharing your fabulous design with the rest of us knitters who’ve longed for a tasteful beret - which is hard to come by!!! You have proven that it’s possible to create a handkint beret without acrylic yarn or a massive, obnoxious pom-pom. I can’t wait to knit this one up.
