Silvanus Beret

$8.00 (PDF DOWNLOAD) 

Named after Silvanus, the Roman deity of woods and forests, this beret draws its inspiration from the natural rhythms of trees and leaves. It is worked in an organic lace-and-cables pattern that ripples outward like branches spreading through a canopy, creating a fabric full of movement and lightness.

A snug ribbed band anchors the fit, while the body of the hat expands gracefully into the classic beret silhouette.
