Pardon me, you say.
Yes I will pardon you, but the fact remains that I got Gretel issues... I will explain. Now it's true that the name Gretel has never stricken me as very beautiful, but who cares right. Then I found this great pattern called... you guessed it Gretel. It's a beret pattern made by Ysolda!
So I happily started knitting and three skeins later I had this huge, oh no, I should say HUGE beret. I felt like rasta woman. Here wait I'll show you:
So I'll give you some info, perhaps you know someone who always wanted to be the mushoom head on Mario.
To make the HUGE sloucy beret:
Pattern: Gretel by Ysolda
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran
Skeins: 3
Needles: 5 mm
Various: followed the Slouchy Beret version of the Gretel Pattern.
And the result isn't bad. I liked knitting the cable pattern a lot and it looks fantastic in white, the yarn is great it looks good, just too big. But again I'm lucky. The Gretel pattern comes with three variations: cap, beret, slouchy beret. So all it takes is a rip back and a reknit of the final decreases. Expect an update on that soon!

I'm knitting Gretel, too, also in cashmerino, only I chose cashmerino chunky. I'm going to need 4 skeins, though. It actually looks kind of cute that big!
