YARN
Malabrigo Lace • 100% merino wool • 50g/430m/470yd/ • WPI 30
Colour: Hollyhock YARN REVIEW
Linda says: "I think this yarn is perfect for the hat. It's super-soft and squishy, with a little more thickness to it than other laceweight yarns. The single ply makes for great stitch defi nition, while the subtle tonal colour variations give the hat depth and make the petal design stand out."

Petal beret LINDA PERMANN
"I wanted something slouchy and feminine, and added the petal details to make this beret really special. Raised stitches
radiate from the centre of this top-down hat to create a pretty, fl oral design. Carefully worked in laceweight yarn, this delicate topper is sure to enhance any outfi t."
