Errata, Lolly Beret, version 1:
We've clarified the language in the note about adding depth to your beret, under the heading EVEN ROUNDS: "Note: Here is where you can change the overall depth of your beret--seven rounds will yield a piece of about 8" in total depth....Our samples were knit per pattern, with seven even rounds here and 8" of depth from cast-on through the decreases."
