Leadlight Beret Printed Pattern

For knitwear designers, inspiration can come from many places. Many of my patterns arise from browsing through stitch dictionaries, finding something interesting and envisioning what sort of garments can come from it. This beret holds a special place in my heart because the stitch pattern came from a book that was gifted to me by my best friend.
