The Batty About Bats Beret is based on beret patterns of the 1930s and inspired by Halloween publicity photos, taken of starlets of the time, including Clara Bow! I have chosen to adorn the spooky beret with bats. Why? I might be slightly obsessed with them! The Batty About Bats Beret is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn and is good for advanced beginners and above. Though, if you are a beginner and not afraid of the swirling mysteries of this beret, then please give it a try! The pattern includes instructions for a beret, the bat applique and a bat brooch.
