Rasta Style Beret or Slouchy

Simply Slouchy/Beret Beanie

 The original pattern for this slouchy beanie I found on Ravelry.com with the written pattern located here. Not knowing the gauge of the yarn she used (my quick google of "I Love This Cotton Yarn" yielded me no results), I instead used what I had on hand. Unfortunately, the pattern started having problems with mathematics at round 6 and continued with what I perceived to be typos as well and I had to adjust the pattern as I went along. 




And here are the adjusted written pattern instructions. Enjoy! The stitch count within brackets instead of parenthesis is my adjusted results of the original pattern.
