Taken from the Madelinetosh website: "A soft, slouchy beret with a simple lace pattern and whimsical top knit in light worsted yarn, worked from the bottom up the hat can be more or less slouchy to suit individual tastes. Sized to fit a woman's medium". (We have substituted the Tosh Worsted suggestion with Tosh DK as it knits up as a light worsted on US 7 needles).
