Garter stitch gives a classic beret a slightly fuller, more relaxed character than a flat felted wool style. Here, the raised rows of knitting catch the light across the gently rounded crown, lending depth to the periwinkle blue shade—a lively mid-blue with a subtle violet undertone that brings welcome colour to winter coats. A fine ribbed band along the lower edge keeps the hat sitting comfortably in place, whether worn tilted slightly to one side or pulled back over a low bun.
Made in Italy from two-ply Grade A Mongolian cashmere, the yarn is spun from long, fine fibres (16.5 microns) that feel wonderfully soft against the forehead and ears. The natural suppleness of the knit allows the beret to drape softly without losing its volume. Pair it with ivory, camel or navy knitwear and tailoring; when needed, refresh by hand washing or on a cool delicate cycle.
