This beret was crocheted on Thursday evening while watching the news about our change of prime minister (by the way, there is a superb summation of the situation over here) – hence the name.
It’s very difficult to photograph a beret effectively! The yarn is Patons Shadow Tweed, the same as used for Mr Thornberry’s skully.
The pattern is a freebie you can find here. I used a 7.5mm hook since I seemed to have misplaced my 8mm one, and it still turned out okay and fits me quite well.
But I’m off to the sewing room tonight to sew some bags rather than sitting in front of the telly crocheting! Have a lovely evening. Keep warm!
