Notes
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. I crocheted one of these out of Red Heart Super Saver and it is too stiff to drape nicely. Even after washing and drying, it just doesn’t work for this pattern.
3. If you want your beret slouchier, work one or two rounds more before the first decrease round.
