Pattern: improvised. I WAS going to make Le Slouch by knit and tonic, but I decided to change things up. I’ve made a beret before, afterall! see? I started with 72 stitches and a twisted rib. I increased (over a few rounds) to 120 and knit for about 6.25″ before starting my rapid decreases (12 stitches each round).
Needles: US 8 throughout.
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in ‘Charcoal Heather’
