{finished} Cascading Leaves Beret

Another project off the needles!  This one has actually been finished for weeks now....I just never made the time to take photos.

This beret is going to be a Christmas gift!  I am not very good at keeping knitted gifts secret, but I think the special recipient of this one still doesn't know it's for them  ;)

Cascading Leaves Beret
by Mei Lynne Travis

Yarn:  Diamond Yarn Tempo

Mods:  Rows 1-12: For the brim, I did k1, p1 ribbing instead of the folded over stockinette.  Row 13: Increased to 90 stitches. For the increases I did one m1 after ever 3 stitches.  For the 3 stitches in between I followed the k1, p1 ribbing.  i.e. [k1, p1, k1, m1, p1, k1, p1, m1]* repeat from* until end of row. 

I ended up doing 4 lace pattern repeats to give it a little extra slouch  =) 

Raveled here!
