To successfully create this beret, knitters will use essential skills such as knitting in the round, increasing, and the SSK (slip-slip-knit) technique.

The size specifications for the Windmill Beret are as follows: Newborn (Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult) with head circumferences measuring 14 (16, 18, 20, 22) inches. The finished measurements for this stylish beret are 12 (14, 16, 18, 20) inches, providing a comfortable and flattering fit for all wearers. Yarns needed for this project include 85 (105, 130, 170, 210) yards of fingering weight yarn, making it a relatively quick and satisfying knit for experienced and novice knitters alike.
