Vega Beret in Brooklyn Tweed WOOL PEOPLE
Today Brooklyn Tweed debuted their first collaborative designer series that they are calling Wool People. I'm delighted to count myself among the designers featured! I'd like to introduce you to Vega, a colorwork beret knitted in Brooklyn Tweed SHELTER yarn. Check out these beautiful photographs from their website:
The design includes two sizes and features a 2-color pattern worked from a chart on circular needles. The woven motif has integrated crown shaping that narrows to a charming little star shape at the top. This hat was a delight to knit not only because of the beautiful Brooklyn Tweed SHELTER yarn, but also because the chart repeats are easily memorized.
I'm just dying to hear what you all think! Please let me know by leaving your comments below.
And don't forget to buy the pattern!

over 12 years agoI just bought your pattern on BT. I can't wait to cast on! This is my first time doing stranded work so I'm a bit nervous. Hopefully it'll all go well.

over 12 years agoThat's great Doris! The Vega beret is a great project to get your feet wet for stranded color work because it is so straightforward. I'm sure you'll do just great. I'd love to see pictures when you're done!
