Cute, Snuggly Beret - Free Pattern

Yep, I finally made a cute head wear that I'm happy with! (:

If you read my previous post, I mentioned that I'll be making a hat of some sort with my alpaca wool.
They are the bestest kind - I absolutely love it and enjoy crocheting with it!
So soft, cozy and warm...I know I must stock up on those!
They are from Patons (Inca) - alpaca wool, which is actually a nice blend of wool, acrylic and alpaca wool.

I have adapted the pattern from this amazing youtube tutorial to suit my yarn. It comes out cute and fits me snuggly.

Here are the photos. Thanks sweet Mitch for taking them for me. I always wanted to take pics outdoor, but didn't really have anyone to help me with it back in Singapore.

Okay, so that was my version of patched/pyramid beret. (:
