There are three shapes now, and all modeled together here in one ensemble. First of the three, the latest shape added to the pattern and gaining in popularity, the Dicey Highland Cap (mentioned over in this post) with or without a toorie (that is the felted wee pom pom) . . .
Next, the original shape, the Dicey Highland Bonnet which was shaped with dramatic swag and swagger to emulate the traditional Scottish Highland bonnets . . .
And last, the Dicey Highland Beret, finished with an i-cord beret loop, and all together much more modest and a bit less voluminous than the bonnet . . .
So there you have it. The pattern is complete with the three shapes: Bonnet , Beret, and Cap. If you would like to try to knit up maybe one or two (or three or four) of them for Christmas gifts like I am, you can find the pattern available, once again, over HERE .
And after all the photo shooting, we settled into making a quick batch of raspberry moon pies for my nieces to take home, as is our tradition.
The Nieces are getting SO tall!!! My gooness!
Love the lush rich color of the Classic Dicey Highland. What yarn did you use on that?
Ah, glad you asked: I used Jamiesons Of Shetland “Spindrift on the cap and the natural black bonnet. I used Alice Starmore’s Hebridean 2ply on the blue bonnet, and a very fine Cascade 220 Peruvian wool Fingering on the red beret. Gotta see the photo I added a photo at the bottom of moon pies ! 🙂 xx
I really need to knit the beret style in Jamiesons though. Soon!
These hats look so good. I always look a bit odd in hats like this.
The baking session looks tasty.
