Knitting a shaped top hat like this beret can be a bit tedious for machine knitters... But it's soooo worth the effort!

Following the hand knitting instructions and knitting all the wedges at the same time, there will be a lot of stitch transfers. (not practical on the machine)

I recommend knitting the top by shaping individual wedges, then seaming them to form the top of the hat.

Use the Knit it Now Beret pattern for detailed instructions.
