The Tuscan Leaves Hat is a beret designed in three sizes, from child to Adult Large. Worked in the round from the bottom up this hat uses knits, purls, and simple lace to create a field of leaves and vines that decrease into the center top. This would be a great pattern for a first-time lace knitter, but is interesting enough for those with more experience.
