A beret for Laura

I made this cute beret using a pattern in the ColorKnits Emag from Interweave Knits.  I used KnitPicks Palette yarn, which I've decided smells funny when it's wet.  I might stop using this yarn because of the smell.  The colors are different than the colors in the pattern.  When I blocked the hat (washed it and dried it over a ball and a plate), the band of the beret dried a little wider than I expected.  But it still turned out cute!  I gave the hat to Laura.
