Isabella's Fireside Girl Beret

We love Phineas and Ferb around here.  A lot.  Mims likes to pretend that she's Isabella, so I decided to make her an Isabella-in-her-Fireside-Girl-uniform costume.  I don't know if this is going to be her Halloween costume, but it's fun for playing dress up, and it's cute to wear out in public.  People who know will recognize her, and those that don't will just think she's adorable.  Either way it's a win for this mom.

Isabella's Fireside Girl beret is gold with a red bow.  You could use my Dynamite Beret! pattern if you wanted to make an adult sized version.  This version should fit kiddos 3-10...

Grab your yarn needle and use the tail end of the big loop piece to stitch the short sides together into a loop.

Weave in any leftover ends.

Wrap the center piece around the center of the loop piece to make a bow.  Using the leftover yarn tail from the center piece, sew the center short ends together.

Tug the top corners of your bow up to make them nice and pointy, just like Isabella's bow!
Now you're ready to stitch it to the front of the beret.

Yippee!  You're done!  Now try it on a cute little girl!  But get your own, because this one is MINE!  :P

Mims loves being my model, but she get's a little squirrely sometimes.
Here are her outtakes:
