A Knitted Beret For Straight Needles
The beret was knit flat – back and forth on straight needles.
It is then seamed using an invisible seam, the mattress stitch.
This hides the seam so you can’t see it at all, only on the inside.
The hat is really easy for anyone who is new to knitting and wants to make something amazing for themselves or to gift!
