Thank you so much, everyone: I'm very happy you like Oblique and appreciate very much all of your comments.The beret pattern is all done, but I need to warn you that while I'm pretty sure the pattern is correct, I still wish I had a better photo(better pattern formatting wouldn't hurt, either). The ones I have are ok, but they're pretty bland. I might re-shoot if I get the opportunity.The first thing you'll notice is that a fairly small needle is called for, despite the weight of the yarn; I wanted this beret to keep its shape well, so opted for a firm fabric. I often have a hard time with hats - I wear glasses and usually find the combination goofy looking. Oona, on the other hand, can put anything on her head and look good. Must be her father's genes.I also found that I couldn't quite decide which side to use as the 'right' one. The broken rib shows off the spiraling well, but I also love the waffle texture on the other side. So, I decided to make it reversible by adding an I-cord to the wrong side.Anyhow, that's pretty much all I have to say about it. I hope you like it!Beret Gaufre on Ravelry
