For the rest of you, it's a new hat pattern!
It's a slouchy beret, with simple smocked detailing, knit in a soft bulky yarn.
A row of eyelets lives just above the brim, almost hidden, but not exactly.
I though of putting a pom pom on it, but wasn't sure.
Can we still wear Pom Poms after 40? I know the whole miniskirt thing is off limits, and my sister tells me to stay away from Forever 21 (although, for the life of me, I just CAN'T), but a pom pom? They seem pretty harmless, but I'm hesitating. Do I have to be done with those too? What's your feeling - yay or nay?
Tell me, as I'll be writing this guy up this morning.

Hanging out in the sink here - it was the best light in the house today.
The whole thing was kind of a surprise, as I hadn't planned on making a beret at all.
I just loved this skein of Cascade 128 Superwash when I saw it in Purl last month and I couldn't leave it there. My sister in law loved the deep red, and once I picked them up, there was no putting them down. (So, I've actually made two berets, but the other is walking around NYC by now on Lisa's head...) The smocking was a surprise too - I decided I've seen enough cabled berets and tons of plain ones, but what hadn't I seen? Smocking. And I'm working on another little smocking project, so I have it on the brain. (so to speak, right?)
So here you go, a Blackberry Surprise.
