PDF in American Crochet terms available now! FYI, my finished beret weights 26g, so you need about 250 yards (or, 300, to be safe) to complete this beret.

Please check errata (below) before beginning this pattern. The PDF has been corrected, but the magazine has errors.

Raised stitches radiate from the center of this top-down hat to create a pretty floral design. Carefully worked in laceweight yarn, this delicate topper is sure to enhance any outfit.
Pattern will be available in US terminology by May 2011.

Apologies for the Errata: (Thanks to Mithras9 and Arwen666 for calling these to my attention! I went through and simplified/clarified a few things-- please let me know if you find anything else). Remember, this is UK terminology, and I’ve replaced the asterisk (for repeats) are with the @ symbol.
