Size: This knit beret comes in one size only, suitable for a head circumference of 52-60 cm (approximately 20.5-23.5”). By altering the yarn weight and/or needle size, you can easily achieve different sizes and fits to suit your personal style.
Gauge: The recommended gauge for this project is 25 stitches and 32 rounds per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) in stockinette stitch when worked in the round on the larger needles, after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring your beret fits perfectly.
Yardage: For this artistic beret, you’ll need just 1 skein of Sparkle by Studio Meez (400 m per 100 grams) or approximately 180 m of fingering-weight yarn. Choose a color that reflects your style to really make it your own!
Needles: The pattern calls for 3 mm (US size 2.5) circular needles with a cable of at least 40 cm (16”). You will also need 2.75 mm (US size 2) circular needles for the project, along with DPNs (double-pointed needles) for working the crown decreases and creating a lovely topper.
