Baroness Beret

In honor of Royal Wedding Day-- a marvelous day for hats, incidentally-- I give you a titled hat:

Is a Baroness the wife of an Earl? Or is that a Countess? These things confuse me so...

It so happens that I was awake* when the festivities began at 4AM EST... and I shall soon retire, so I'll be brief.

Project Notes

Yarn: Fibre Company Khroma

Pattern: Baroness Beret (Rav link) by Susan Power

Techniques: Tubular cast on... in the round for extra credit!

The Bottom Line: 18 down, 34 to go...


*I was at work!**

**Not that there's anything wrong with staying up all night to watch the wedding of the century***

***Be that as it may, I didn't really watch-- how was it?!****

****Oh, who am I kidding-- I was glued to it!

  1. That is a great hat! I love it! I *think* a Countess is married to an Earl :)

    Wasn't Kate's dress gorgeous? The whole day went beautifully :)

  2. Whoa, you were at WORK at 4am??? Wow. The hat looks awesome! I didn't watch the wedding as it started at 1am here, but I'm guessing I'll see clips throughout the day. I did watch a CNN video showing a few moments though.

  3. Countess is the wife of an Earl, a Baroness would be married to a Baron, surely?

    Love the colour of the hat, very sweet!

    I didn't get up early to watch the coverage from the start, but tuned in from about 10am to see the important people arrive. Didn't she look beautiful?

  4. Your version of this hat is just gorgeous!!!

    I would love to make one for my friend but the link on Ravelry appears to be broken...

    Do you have a copy of the pattern that you could share with me??

    Thanks - Jodie :)
