I captured the hat like an apple pie: Ribbed Lace Beret, Mercerized.

Tucked Edge: Perfectly frames the face, adding an instant layer of gentle, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. 2. Exposed Edge: Highlights the sculptural lines of the crochet, showcasing a modern, effortless winter style. 🪡 Artisan Story: Seeking the Golden Ratio for a Smaller-Looking Silhouette In pursuit of the ultimate aesthetic, the designer worked closely with her mother to research and refine countless prototypes, determined to unlock the secret of how to achieve the perfect structural volume and the most flattering diameter. After numerous tests, we found our golden result: using the designer’s own 54cm head circumference as a benchmark, a 24cm diameter beret provides the most perfect proportions, creating a stunning visual contrast that makes the head appear smaller and more refined. Every girl is a unique moon. Our boutique is happy to offer a complimentary golden ratio conversion service! Feel free to measure your head circumference, and the designer will calculate the size best suited for a smaller-looking face. 🧶 Specifications * Composition: 25% Wool, 30% Nylon (Mercerized), 45% Cotton * Dimensions: Diameter approximately 24cm (slight variations may occur in handcrafted items) * Model Reference: Head circumference 54cm 🎁 Each purchase includes a complimentary pearl button—it can be used to adjust the circumference or attached directly to the knit texture as a classic, elegant French vintage accent. 🧺 Care Instructions To best preserve the structure of this hand-knit wool piece, the designer recommends the following: ✨ Daily Care: Hand-crocheted items are not recommended for machine washing. After daily wear, if there are no visible stains, we recommend lightly and evenly misting it with a store-bought fabric disinfectant spray. This effectively extends the life of the wool, prevents shrinking and pilling, and maintains the hat's perfect 3D structure. 🧺 Spot Cleaning: If deep cleaning is necessary due to visible stains, please follow these steps: * For knit and cotton-linen items, hand wash separately in cold water using a neutral detergent. Do not soak or wash for more than 30 minutes. * Gently squeeze out excess water, reshape the piece by hand, and lay it flat to air dry in the shade. Do not hang vertically to dry, as gravity may cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape. Origin: Hand made in Hong Kong (Designed and crafted independently)
