The Blue Beret Pattern (Free Download)

In case you missed it through Facebook....you can now download my beret pattern here! I renamed it The Blue Beret from the Adelaide pattern since it is a unisex hat...didn't want the boys to feel left out!

The Blue Beret
The whole pattern started with a hat I made for Boo for a collaboration with artist Stephanie Corfee. I silk screened Stephanie's "When I Grow Up" print for a small limited edition for my shop a few months back. Boo's hat has led to many, many more hats. Some are upcycled and recycled from t-shirts:


Some are dyed and silk screened:

    Thanks for the pattern. I'm not a sewing expert coz I can only sew straight lines but if ever I would try sewing other than curtains or pillow cases, I will definitely try this and will let you know how it turned out.
