HOW TO MAKE A TIDE BERET

From Hilary Grant's book Knitting from the North, enjoy this Tide Beret. Inspired by winter in the northern Scottish Islands and using a traditional fairisle stitch you can wear this as a slouchy beanie with the cuff turned down or as a little beret. It is quite a neat style so if you want to make it bigger you can increase it – by one horizontal repeat. Materials and tools you will need:

• Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift yarn:
• One ball Natural White, main colour (MC)
• One ball Heron, contrasting colour (CC)
• 2.25mm circular needles
• 2.75mm circular needles
