Well, as always, Ysolda does not disappoint. This is the 5th pattern of hers that I've knit, and I have a few more in my queue. What can I say? The woman can really design a beret!
Anyway, the only modification, if you can even call it that, that I made was to work a sewn bind off. I made the size large, because I have a big head and it worked out great. I liked it unblocked, even if it did look a bit Strawberry Shortcake-ish.
However, I went ahead and blocked it on a big plate anyway. It didn't make much of a difference. The lace opened up a little bit, but it isn't much slouchier. I really like it, and can't wait to start wearing it.
