Damson Purl Beret bythe lovely people at Purl.

My Ravelry Post: here
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk - about 100g
Needles: 2.5mm for the band, and 2.75mm for everything else.
Pattern: Purl Beret - which can be found here. (Bonus - it’s FREE. :)
Conclusion: I ended up re-knitting this because - in trying to adjust for my large head - I ended up making something too big even for me, the first time around. So a frogged and started again, which really wasn’t a hardship given that a) this yarn is soft, and smooth and wonderful to knit with, and b) it’s such a quick pattern that it only took a couple of days to knit up.

I’m really pleased with it. :)
