Birdseye beret

Super-chunky doesn’t necessarily mean super-clunky when it comes to knitting! When you create a lace pattern using very bulky yarn, the final result combines the best of both worlds: a cozy, thick, and warm experience alongside a delightful, airy lace design. The Birdseye Beret is an excellent example of this fusion. Not only is it super-fast to knit, making it a perfect go-to gift hat, but it also allows you to indulge your creativity by crafting one in each of your favorite Rasta colors. This squooshy hat knits up quickly in a super bulky yarn, providing a rich texture that is further enhanced by the simple twisted rib brim and elegant eyelet fabric at the crown.

Construction Notes
This stylish hat features an incredibly simple and rapid knitting process. The design begins with a few rows of twisted rib, forming the snug brim, followed by a slouchy top worked in a straightforward 6-stitch lace repeat. To maintain the beauty of the lace pattern, decreases continue seamlessly to the very top, utilizing a 12-stitch repeat for consistency. This easy-to-follow pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels, making it an ideal project for those who want a quick yet beautiful finished product.

Notions
For this charming project, you will need circular needles as well as double-pointed needles (DPNs) to complete the hat. Don’t forget to have a crochet hook handy for weaving in those pesky ends—unless you opt for a REALLY big needle!
