This is a print at home reproduction of a charming French hat pattern from 1948. Post-war French fashion was simple, but very celebratory and this beret with bird ornaments symbolizing freedom from the occupation is a great example of that.

There are three ways to adapt a single given felt beret pattern and instructions and diagrams given for making the easy little felt bird, knot or stem to embellish.

To see this hat beautifully made up by the talented Jeanne of Vera Venus, check out the blog post below:
