The Coronet Beret is stylish and elegant, built with a motif of increases, decreases and plenty of texture.
Knit in the round from the brim to the peak. A repeated motif is knit multiple times, building volume in the beret, the motif tapers off at the top, and an i-cord, with optional boop, is the cherry on top.
This project is suitable for test knitters who are confident in the following:
- Making gauge
- Working in the round
- Following multiple instructions at the same time
- Multiple stitches per round
- Reading charts & written instructions
- Knowing when to use safety lines or the more-than-asked stitch markers
- The motif is broken into two portions
- the widest stitch amount per motif is 32 sts per motif
- there are six repeats of the motif in the pattern
- Working in Slack and Google Docs
- Effectively communicating errors or suggesting edits
- Calculating the yarn weight and length used for the project
- Taking well-lit and desirable photos of the finished project
- Submitting comments in a post-mortem questionnaire
- NEW! Test knitting with Balsam Knits is like a knit-along.
- There will be a giveaway of knitting accessories & products at the end of the test. Details will be provided in the Slack group in Milestone 2.
- Gifting a PDF of the finished pattern with a link to Ravelry
- In addition, a coupon code to get a free pattern from the designer's collection or future collection
