Autumn Vines Beret

My Autumn Vines Beret pattern is finally done!

It took a long time to get it just right but I couldn't be more pleased with the end result.

This design is tied with Cedar Leaf as my favorite published pattern.

I love how the cabled leafy design looks like a tangled vine traveling up the sides of the hat.

It was a very interesting and fun stitch pattern to work up.

The yarn that I used, Becoming Art Cielo Sport, complements the design so nicely. It shows off the textured pattern very well and the subtle highlights in the color bring the pattern to life.

Usually the samples that I knit end up in my trunk shows.. but no. Not this hat. This is mine. I love it.
