[...] long and indefensible procrastination, I have posted new versions of the Columbia beret and the Twisted Tree pullover on the Patterns page. There is now a smaller size of the beret [...]

Hi Sarah-
I love this pattern but I have a big head that measures around 23 inches circumference. Would this hat be too small?

Thanks,
Bethany

LOVE the band!!! I’m just discovering how great berets are for not giving a hat-hair-day! Thanks for making the battern available.

I’ve responded individually to those with questions, but since the crown decreases are flummoxing many, here’s the reason it’s written “omit last k1″:

That k1 is actually the first stitch of the round, because of the way the decreases shift the beginning of the round. I could have written “k12, k2tog, k1, *k13, k2tog, k1*” instead, but I thought that might be more confusing. The line of decreases is going to slant continually right in just the way you’d expect, with the yarnovers following on appropriate rounds. You’re going to knit that yarnover from the round below, but it’s going to be the first stitch of the next round’s directions. Email me if you’re still confused!

I am working on the Columbia Beret pattern. I have come to the crown decreases and have hit a snag…….in round 2 it says K13, k2tog, k1* around omit last k1. How are you suppose to do that???? The last k1 is a yo stitch.

I just posted pictures of my Columbia beret on ravelry and will soon do a post of the finished project on my blog.
I loved making it and other than the silly mistake I made in one round it was fast and easy. I will have another on the needles soon and will share the pattern with my knitting group. Thank you so much for this and all your great patterns!
May you and your family have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Lovely. Just lovely. The color is perfect. I look hideous in hats, berets being no exception. But if I were to pop one on my big ol’ curly topped head, this would be the one.
