Thanks for the pattern -- it is just the right size for my mother, who would never wear the big slouchy berets I kept finding. I made it In Rowan Felted Tweed,
Great pattern! I just made it and I think there's an error in the decreases. In the second decrease round it says that there will be 90 stitches, but you lose 13 sts in the first round (104-13=91) and then you do a double decrease (91-2=89). That then threw off the pattern of the decreases in the third row. I just did a (sl1, k1, psso) over the last two stitches and it worked out. I could be wrong, though, since it doesn't look like anyone else has had that problem.
this is beauuuutiful! and EXACTLY what i was looking for. (fancy lookin', but easy enough for even me to understand!) thanks so much, i am going to start on this TONIGHT!
cheers,
