It’s cold in Chicago, but not too cold to wear a snappy beret, should you happen to have one. And since I finished my Kaura, I do indeed happen to have one.
This pattern was a lot easier than it looks like. I didn’t even do anything to convert it to a beret from a hat other than block it over a dinner plate!
While I admit that a good portion of my wardrobe includes black, I’ve never been one for black winter wear. Yes, my Insane Cold Level and Only Miserably Cold Level winter coats are both black, but I always have colorful accessories. Fortunately, I recently found a fantastic red plaid vintage Pendleton coat on eBay, which now fits the bill for a Pretty Cold But Not Going To Kill Me Level coat. That, my Lace Ribbon Scarf and my Kaura beret make quite a statement during a drab Chicago winter!
It’s so pretty! I love it - and your glasses rock!!
