PATTERN NOTES
The beret is knit from the bottom up, beginning with a provisional cast-on that is later unpicked and bound off using the I-cord method. Circular increases are used to create a classic beret shape.
The shrug also begins with a provisional cast-on that is later unpicked and bound off with an I-Cord using the I-Cord method. It is knit in the round from the top down and then separated at the neck and knit flat with a built in I-Cord edge and finally bound off using the I-Cord method.
