I've recently made the Verity Beret by Ysolda. I love this hat so much! I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Kettle Dyed. I used about 1 1/2 balls of the 4 I have. I had trouble with the band. So I had to go to the Ysolda group and at the bottom of the topics was a topic search. So I search Verity Band and I went to the topic that said "another Verity Band problem" or something close to that. But it was very helpful. I also figured out alot of the people who made this hat had trouble with the band, and i'm not the only one. I was glade to find this out.
