About
The Amelie Beret is a take on the classic French style beret inspired by, of course, the city of lights. I’ve always adored how such a simple accessory can add so much to any outfit. Style for winter with your favourite overcoat, or in the warm weather with long flowing dresses.
The Amelie Beret is worked by beginning with a provisional cast on, then knit from the bottom up in the round, with increases and decreases used to shape the crown.
