ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Bonnie Beret is made in the round, from the bottom up, with 2 strands held together throughout the whole process. It begins with the brim in a 1x1 rib stitch, where the double knitting method is used for the folded edge. Next, the stitches are cast on for the body. Then decreases are made and the crown is finished with a stem. It is essential to fold the brim before wearing. To achieve the maximum effect, tilt Bonnie Beret slightly to the side, giving it a casual and artistic look.

The Beret is made with 2 strands held together throughout the whole process.

The Beret will use exactly 1 skein – you will need an additional skein to make the sample. In addition, you should keep an eye on the tension throughout the knitting process – if you knit more loosely, the beret will have a larger diameter and you may run out of yarn.
