Knitted Beret
Lion Brand® Imagine (Old)
GAUGE: 18 sts + 24 rows = 4" (10 cm) in St st (k every rnd). 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: | ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and k them tog.

| Knitted Beret Reviewed by Lori Devlin on 2010-03-28 |

This pattern is good but needs more clarity for beginning knitters. I was confused the first time I tried the decreases. The way the decrease is written (the part in parentheses) I thought it meant you Slip Slip Knit EACH stitch all the way around, not Slip, Slip Knit ONE set of stitches ONLY at every marker. I finally asked for help translating the pattern so I could understand it from an experienced knitter.
Also, I highly suggest beginning knitters have an experienced knitter who they can get help from on how to read and interpret knitting patterns. Most writers make the assumption you know how to read and interpret not just the abbreviations, but all the nuances in knitting patterns too.
Here is how I would re-write the decrease row:
Decrease Row. (Ssk) every other row in six spots evenly placed until there are 8 stitches in every section between the stitch markers (knit the other rows in between plain). Then, repeat the decrease row every row until there are 6 stitches left on the needles total.
