In LOVE! I used a soft purple yarn for the top and black for the sides (I ran out of purple!) I had to make one extra increase so I had 84 sts. I decreased the 7 extra sts in one round before continuing with the decrease rounds like in the pattern. I used a 6.0mm hook on the beret and a 5.0mm hook for the bow. It looks a bit wonky lying flat but it's so cute !!! 💜
