Wisp Beret
The Wisp Beret is worked in the round from brim to crown. The German Twisted Cast-On method is used to enhance the stretch and durability of the edging. 2 x 2 ribbing is used for the brim, stranded colorwork is used for the body and crown. Increases and decreases are built into the colorwork chart.
