Classic, elegant, smart and sexy beret, knitted in the round with stripes in 3 colours.

I have included a basic instruction for knitting in the round. A small creation like a beret is great for trying a new technique.

The beret is knitted in the round from the k1 p1 rib band. Decreases are by purling stitches together to give the design that can be seen on the red beret. The beret does include an I cord nub. It can be finished without the nub if wished.

I used circular needles and dpns. I used about 25 gms of each of 3 colours.
