I was poking around today looking for a pattern for a knit bird and came across this total gem of a free pattern.  I will use the phrase "of course" now for those who know me.  Of couse I had to make it tonight, of course I had to make the beret, and of course I had to make it on my now favorite 000 needles with sock yarn.  Really, what isnt improved by making it with tiny needles and sock yarn?  He is 2 inches tall with his hat and is all set for a fancy night on the town.
