Guilloche Beret
A follow-up to the Guilloche Beanie, the Guilloche Beret makes for a playful yet sophisticated winter accessory. Named after the enamelling technique used to make Fabergé eggs, the ‘guilloche’ fabric features a reversible mini-honeycomb motif that can be worked without a cable needle. Suitable for DK to Aran-weight yarns, this is a quick single skein project and makes for excellent gift-knitting.
