LATEST PATTERN: Pavé Beret

A Call Out for Test Knitters: Coronet Beret


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.

The olive Coronet Beret lays flat and it looks like a flower.
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
