Easy Set includes a beret and snood and is an easy, enjoyable project. The softly shaped beret is worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch, while the snood is worked in textured double seed stitch.

Both pieces are seamless and worked in the round. The beret is shaped with evenly spaced increases and decreases and finished with a small i-cord tip. The snood is a straight tube that can be worn around the neck or pulled up over the head.

Sizes:
Beret: to fit a head circumference of 56–58 cm; approximately 25 cm in diameter at the widest point.
Snood: approximately 28–30 cm wide when laid flat and 40 cm high.
