lacey slouch/beret

My sister requested a slouchy hat/beret that was lacey. I immediately scoured ravelry and this was the prettiest. I showed it to her and she liked it. The pattern was really simple and memorable. I finished it in about a week, but I took a few breaks here and there.

Pattern: Gwen Slouchy Beret, by Lauren Nell Roy
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool in “Old Gold”
Needles: US 6 & 8
Mods: twisted rib

By the way, I got a new lens for my camera! It’s the elusive Nikon 35mm f/1.8 that has been the subject of my material lust for the past few months. I sold a zoom lens I pretty much never used and only had to add about $25 to get the cost of this one. Pretty rad!
