Worthy of Note
This intricate lace beret is worked in the round from the
bottom up. After working a knit 1, purl 1 ribbing, increases
are worked for the body. The body and crown of the hat is
worked from a chart.

When working the crown decreases, change to double
pointed needles when the body circumference is too small to work on the circular.
