This slouchy beret can be made to fit a toddler, a child, or an adult.

Sizing is accomplished by changing the weight of the yarn.

The Toddlers’ size requires fingering weight yarn.
The Childrens’ size requires sport weight yarn.
The Adults’ size requires DK weight yarn.

The subtle stitch pattern incorporates twisted stitches and decreases that are cleverly-yet simply-worked at the same time.

It can be worn slouchy, or blocked for a “crisper” beret finish.

Note: My knitting tends to be a bit looser than average. So, while I do give a recommended needle size, be sure to work a gauge swatch.
