A Call Out for Test Knitters: Coronet Beret

The Coronet Beret is stylish and elegant, built with a motif of increases, decreases and plenty of texture.

Knit in the round from the brim to the peak. A repeated motif is knit multiple times, building volume in the beret, the motif tapers off at the top, and an i-cord, with optional boop, is the cherry on top.
