Sunday Pictorial Beret, Boreale yarn (Bottle Green)

Scarf, Antique and Resale Shoppe, Chicago, IL

Bow detail, Sunday Pictorial Beret

This week's round up includes a beret that I stitched up in using Boreale, a fingering-weight yarn. Used 0 needle for the edge, and 1 for the main body. Mindless garter stitch all the way to the top.
Here are some other hat-related items:

• Got at least three weeks off this summer? Check out the millinery blocking and draping class (Course #1020 001) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Straw, felt, paper, fabric and other unusual materials will be the foundation for your way-cool hats. No preqs! Taught by world-renown instructor, Instructor: Eia Radosavljevic . Not exactly a traditional college student? No worries. Register as a "student-at-large;" cs@saic.edu or call 312.629.6170.
• Milliner Jenny Pfanensteil will be the guest speaker at the "Mad Hatter" luncheon Thursday, May 10 at the Chicago Club. Read all the details here.
• Got a bee in your bonnet? Try making this baby bonnet. Just in time for Easter.
• Why are hat sizes so weird?  Food for some thought.
