Bonbon beret

Bonbon beret is worked in two strands of yarn held together from the bottom up in a stockinette stitch. The first part of the beret is worked on a 40 cm [16’’] circular needle, while the top of the beret is worked on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. A beret has a fitted double band to keep it on the head while the sides of it are a bit wider. It can be worn with the slouchy part off the back off or to one side. It has a classic and feminine fit, is very easy to knit and is perfect for sunny spring days. **SIZE:** ONE SIZE - for head circumference 56 - 58 cm \[22 - 23’’\]. **MEASUREMENTS:** * height: 20 cm \[7.8"\] \(stem excl.\) * diameter: 26 cm \[10"\] **GAUGE:** 22 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm \[4" x 4"\] in stockinette knitted in the round, after blocking, on 4 mm \[US 6\] needles.
