wow, I love this Doily Beret.
I tend to crochet loose and the doily portion was perfect as a place mat for one of my flower pots. Just the right size and a lovely design. I am making the hat and will post it when I finish.
I'll use a smaller hook and see if that helps with size. Rae in NC

This looks so lovely ! i am a beret fanatic and only just recently began wearing roll-brim hats, but this looks like one that is a "must-have" for winter and fall ( spring,too, if the weather is cool enough ;) ) Beautiful pattern !
