Truly Myrtle - Alice

Knitted with fingering yarn, Alice is a light, feminine hat with a slight beret shape that suits most faces.

Elegant lace gently grows from the ribbed brim into subtle leaf shapes and curves gently to the crown against a textured background.

Alice is a stylish take on traditional lace berets and is a pattern perfectly suited to experienced knitters and those eager for a challenge.

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions and links to tutorials.
