Girl's Beret Knitting Pattern

A sweet pattern from the early days of my knitting design. I hope you enjoy the free girl's beret knitting pattern, with matching scarf and mittens!
Materials
1 skein Lion’s Wool (100% wool) by Lion Brand Yarn, shown in Cadet Blue #110
2-4 skeins specialty yarn to gauge *
5 pairs US size 5 double pointed needles
5 pairs US size 10 ½ double pointed needles
1 pair US size 19 straight needles
Stitch holder
*Note: I originally knit this pattern with the lovely yarn pictured called "Ragdoll." It was, sadly, discontinued. Isaac Mizrahi has a similar gauge specialty yarn at Michael's that would be a reasonable replacement.
