Step-By-Step Pattern
1. Begin the Beret Crown
- Foundation Ring:
- Chain 4. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first chain to form a ring.
- Round 1:
- Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet, dc).
- Work 13 dc into the ring (total 14 dc).
- Join with a sl st to the third chain of starting ch. Place a contrasting yarn marker here.
2. Start Spiral Alternating Stitches
- Spiral Round Marking:
- Place a small strand of contrasting yarn in the starting chain.
- Round 2:
- Chain 1.
- Alternating stitches:
- Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc) around next dc.
- Standard dc in next stitch.
- Repeat: FPdc, dc … around the circle.
- Continue spiraling, always knowing where you started by your marker.
3. Increase to Shape the Beret
- Round 3:
- Continue alternating FPdc and dc, spiraling until you reach the marker.
- Count your stitches: you should have 29. Alternate FPdc, dc as before.
4. Create Cluster Rows (Body)
- Round 4 & 5 (Cluster Groups):
- Begin with a chain stitch.
- Work groups of 2 dc closed together as follows:
- Yarn over, insert hook, pull through, yarn over, finish only the first two loops (leave last loop on hook).
- Repeat once more (three loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all loops (creates a dc2tog or cluster).
- Make two clusters in each space before a normal dc, and two in the space after, alternating with an FPdc in the corresponding stitch.
- After each FPdc, make a chain space to separate clusters.
- You will have 14 cluster spaces per round.
- Repeat:
- Work two more similar rounds with clusters, chain spaces, and FPdc in relief.
5. Expand and Shape Further
- Rounds 6 – 7:
- In chain spaces from previous rounds, work two clusters of dc2tog in each space, separated by a chain.
- Continue placing FPdc in relief stitches.
- Work until you have three rounds of cluster rows.
- Three Rounds with Three Clusters:
- In each chain space, make three clusters, separated by chains as before.
- In each chain space, make three clusters, separated by chains as before.
6. Narrow for Beret Brim
- Rounds 8 – 10 (Cluster Decreases):
- In each chain space, work four clusters, omitting chain spaces after FPdc.
- Make three rounds like this—no extra chain spaces between groups. This will gently draw in the brim.
7. Finishing and Band
- Last Spiral Join:
- Finish with slip stitch on an FPdc to close spiral effect.
- Band Rounds:
- Chain 2; sc in every stitch around, alternating single crochet decreases.
- Decrease by inserting hook in next two stitches, pulling up a loop in both, then yarn over and pull through all loops.
- Alternate regular sc and decreases for one round.
- Work Six Plain Rounds of Single Crochet:
- Chain 2 at start of each round. Work sc in every stitch for six rounds.
- Slip stitch to join the last round.
8. Final Touches
- Finishing:
- Cut yarn and weave in ends neatly.
- Remove markers.
- Flip beret right side out.
