BERET: Starting at lower edge, with circular needle and B, cast on 100 sts. Join rnd, taking care not to twist sts. Mark beg of rnds with marker or circle of yarn on needle; slip marker each rnd. All rnds are worked from right side. Seed rib: Rnd 1: (K 1, p 1) around. Rnd 2: K around. Rnds 3–6: Repeat these 2 rnds once with A, then with B. Fasten off B. Working with A throughout, k 1 rnd.
