Right around the corner is the birthday of a dear friend, for whom I have not knitted a single loving-hands item in years. And this is a friendship with such history that she deserves to have something handknit by me every year, so I have really fallen down on the job. With just enough time to remedy that situation at least for this year, I pulled a ball of fabulously soft and lushly colored Schaeffer yarn (a wool and alpaca blend, if memory serves) from my stash and whipped up this pattern for the adorable Cassidy Cap by Bonne Marie Burns of ChicKnits:
My dear old friend has snappy blue eyes, and this beret will make them even snappier.
Doesn’t my daughter make the most wonderful hat model?
I’m biased, of course, but I think if her ultimate career choice allows for a bit of free time, she could definitely moonlight.
