Booksaver, The beret-slouch in grey soft yarn sounds so beautiful and feminine.
I made the beret-slouch in dark red, but after I finished it, it just wasn't attractive on me. The off-white softer one at Thanksgiving for DD, looked good on me, but the red one was hideous.
I don't know if it was that dark color against my white-skinned overly high and wide forehead, which caused it to not look good or not.
However, there IS a hat on-line, which I look GR8 in and so have several of my Dfriends. It's just a hat that's attractive in how it hugs the head, frames the face, and it's rich-looking, too.
It is called "Ugly But Warm Hat", by Dot Matthews (bythehook), but her site's not managed by her anymore, but the gals at Crochetville have it. Also, I believe it's still at:
http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com Here's the very L-O-N-G Crochetville URL: LOL!
http://www.crochetville.com/community/index.php?app=cores&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=12653If those don't work, a "Google" will bring it up for a short-cut.
Edited Here: I just clicked on that last long, very long URL and it doesn't take you anywhere, at least, you GO somewhere, but there's no hat there. However, at the first link I gave you, just click onto "hats" and it's on the hat page in alphabetical order way down on the bottom part of the right-hand column.
It's a beautiful hat, I've made it with 2-strands Caron Pound and 2-strands Red Heart Super Saver. However, ♥ I have 1 skein of soft brown Homespun and 1 skein of off-white Homespun, so it will make a very unusual-looking hat in brown-off-white mixed, but I believe the Homespun will make it very attractive and very warm, too.
