Black beret (50% Wool 50% Acrylic) with black veiling and red chenille dots, individually hand applied. The veiling is soft with very large diamonds, in the style of the 1940s veils.
The idea of the berets with veiling comes from my desire to have a special hat that I could put in a trolley for short trips or in my purse while I'm in town, without ruining it.
You can hide most of the veil under the beret for a more sober effect.
