I am a self confessed Beret addict! I can’t get enough of them, bright ones, subtle ones, textured ones, etc etc. I have enough to show and share as my collection has immensely grown call it lockdown boredom with immense need to be occupied . I hope that I will be wearing all of them soon.

If you haven’t made a Beret before, its quiet simple – and the pattern i have written is a beginner friendly pattern which requires you to work in a circle increasing out and then reducing back in.

Before I get started – let me start with the review of the Newly Launched Beanie Yarn from Ganga Acrowools

The shade I picked gave me a perfect fall look – I couldn’t resist but pick them up

Yarn Review

Yarn – 100 % Acrylic

Weight Worsted Weight

Variegated Colors – a lot of options to choose from

Weight – 100 Grams ball

The yarn is loosely pilled , however holds the shape and structure when worked with it. I literally finished the beret hat in 40 mins with ease

The final verdict of the yarn

ProsCons
Good Quality Acrylic Yarn
Wide Color OptionsCurrently Variegated only
Price – Affordable against the Foreign brands Worsted Weight Yarn @ rs 115 per 100 grams ball

Its another lovely yarn to be added into your stash in case you are fond of worsted weight yarns ,I think Baby Blankets , Cowls and Hats will be amazing in this yarn.

Now Lets get started with the Hickster Beret Cap Pattern

YOU WILL NEED:

Hook: Size 5mm and 5.5 mm Hook

Yarn: Worsted Weight (100g) I used the New Ganga Beanie variegated yarn – so its a perfect 1 skein project

Others: Tapestry Needles , Scissors , Stitch Markers

 Lets start with the Hickster Beret Hat Pattern !

For this pattern for the main part of the hat we will be using a 5.5 mm hook and 5 mm for the ribbing. Rather than using a tension gauge and matching it, you want to use the hook that suits you best to get a close stitch tension for a nice firm shape, so change hook accordingly and then if needed you can adjust your round count to reach the desired size.

Beret are usually 30cm in Diameter designed for a standard adult size , depending on your tension do adjust round accordingly lower no of rounds can also fit a child .

Notes

  • Chain 2 in the beginning doesn’t count as a stitch
  • You can decide if you want a bigger size on round 9 and increase accordingly

Abbreviations

CH – chain

Sl St – Slip Stitch

DC – Double Crochet

2DC – 2 Double Crochet in the same stitch

Dc2tog – Double crochet together
