Materials for a Knitted Beret
1 skein Koigu Painter's Palette or another fingering weight yarn
I used less than one skein of Koigu for my adult-size beret, or approximately 150 yards.
**Please note, if your gauge is any tighter than 7 stitches per inch you will need more than one skein! If you are unsure about your knitting, or think you want a slightly floppier beret, please make sure you have 2 skeins to work with.
16-inch circular needles, US size 3 (I use Addi Turbos)
1 set of double-pointed needles, US size 3 or correct size for gauge (I use Crystal Palace bamboo dpn)

The Koigu color is P315L. I love it, too. Leah made a whole sweater of it which I'll photograph soon for the bee. It is gorgeous!
I am fairly new to knitting, but I would like to try my hand at this gorgeous beret. The one hitch is that the smallest circular needles carried by my local shop were size 6. Any suggestions on how I could adapt the pattern (and other types of yarn I could use) to approximate this beret?
Thanks very much,
Daryn
