here comes another one…
It’s another Raspberry Beret (Ravelry link). I think that this is number 8.
The yarn is Moda Vera Harmony, which is 50/50 wool/acrylic. As is often the case with variegated yarns, I loved the way it looked in the ball.
Stella was with me when I was shopping for this yarn, so I didn’t really pay much attention to how long the repeats were. As it turns out, not very long at all. When crocheted up (it may have looked quite different knitted) it looks like girly camouflage to me. So I crocheted up another Raspberry Beret (yes, number 9) but left out rows 11-13 to make it Clare-sized.
I still had a little yarn left over, so Clare asked for a pom-pom to go in the middle. We’re both happy with the finished look!
If you’re wanting to make a Raspberry Beret from this yarn, you need two balls – you’ll have a little left over for your pom-pom!
And in sewing planning news, the latest issue of Ottobre Woman arrived in the mailbox last week. Just look at this pattern!
I see more bathers in my future!
Now those are great looking bathers !

The beret is super lovely on Clare and the batters are fantastic!
Girly camo describes it perfectly. I like it!

Lara,
I am totally planning to make the ‘bathers’ as well! Don’t know if I’ll have the guts to show them off, though.
Clare is so pretty in that beret!
That Claire is so adorable–just love her little face!
The beret is cute and so is Clare. Love the bathers.
Love those bathers…..need to get myself a copy of Ottobre!
Oh those bathers! I thin I might have to get that edition so I can have a go at them – they are just my style!
Gorgeous, gorgeous girl that daughter of yours Lara.
