Textured Beret
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
7 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
sc2tog (sc dec) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
NOTES:
Beret is worked in rounds, turn at the beginning of each round.

Textured Beret Reviewed by Ruth Hobbs on 2012-02-07
Just finished it and I like it a lot. I made it for someone else so I hope she likes it, too :) The only part that baffled me was the ribbing. I couldn't figure out what the heck it was saying to do -- I thought it was still going in rounds, but it wasn't. It goes up and down, up and down from there. It came out very nice :)
