FRENCH KISS, a classic beret with a feisty peaked tip, works up in two hours from just one skein of yarn.

The yarn is doubled, or you can substitute one strand of superbulky (you’ll need at least 60 yards) or multiple strands of lighter yarn to achieve gauge. Keep in mind that using a bulky single instead of a smooth plied yarn may slow you down, especially if you’re using pointy needles.
