The Wisp Beret is worked in the round from brim to crown.  The German Twisted Cast-On method is used to enhance the stretch and durability of the edging.  2 x 2 ribbing is used for the brim, stranded colorwork is used for the body and crown.  Increases and decreases are built into the colorwork chart.
