This is a warm and stylish beret hat for that cute little girl in your life. The last time I was at Michael's craft store, they had this gorgeous yarn called "Loops and Threads Charisma". With such a pretty mixture of colors, I wanted to show them off with a hat.
Very easy and enjoyable to work up, #5 yarn and an "L" hook make this hat a breeze. Have fun! :)
