Beret and Mittens


I saw the hat at the Mendocino Yarn Shop, and bought the yarn to make it for Nora. The pattern is "Adobe Beret", by Pemela W Allen, designed for the Mendocino Yarn Shop, so you can only get it from them.  The yarns are both Berroco:  The solid is Berroco Ultra Alpaca, and the variegated is Berroco Adobe.  There was just enough of the Adobe to make the hat and add those teensy stripes to the mittens, but there was a lot of Ultra Alpaca, since it was only used for the ribbing on the beret. So, I made the fingerless mittens to match, and basically winged it -- no pattern.
