      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83c\udfa8 Finished Size:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Fits an average adult head (21\u201323 inches circumference).
      You can easily adjust it for smaller\/larger sizes (instructions below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\ude84 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83c\udf38 STEP 1: Start the Crown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This forms the top circle of your beret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Magic Ring<\/strong> (or chain 4, join with a slip stitch to make a ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 11 dc into the ring<\/strong>. Join with sl st to top of ch 3. (12 dc total)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Round 2:<\/strong> Ch 3. Work 1 dc in same st, 2 dc in each stitch around<\/strong>. Join. (24 dc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Round 3:<\/strong> Ch 3, 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (36 dc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Round 4:<\/strong> Ch 3, 1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (48 dc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Round 5:<\/strong> Ch 3, 1 dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (60 dc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Round 6:<\/strong> Ch 3, 1 dc in next 4 sts, 2 dc in next<\/em>, repeat around. Join. (72 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udc49 Continue increasing (adding 1 more dc between increases each round) until your flat circle measures about 10\u201311 inches across<\/strong> for an adult size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        \ud83e\udeb6 STEP 2: Shape the Body (Slouch Section)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Once your circle is wide enough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 3. Dc in each stitch around (no increases). Join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Repeat this 5\u20138 rounds<\/strong>, depending on how slouchy you want the beret.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udc49 This part gives the beret its signature \u201cfloppy\u201d shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83e\udde2 STEP 3: Decrease to Form the Band<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Now you\u2019ll bring the sides in to fit your head snugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Round 1:<\/strong> Ch 3, dc in next 4 sts, dc2tog (decrease)<\/em> around. Join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Round 2:<\/strong> Ch 3, dc in next 3 sts, dc2tog<\/em> around. Join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Round 3:<\/strong> Switch to sc<\/strong>. Work 1 sc in each st around to make the band tighter.
            You can also add 1\u20132 more rounds of sc<\/strong> if you want a thicker band.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            \ud83e\uddf5 STEP 4: Finishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Fasten off, leaving a 6-inch tail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Flatten and shape your beret \u2014 you can lightly block it (steam or damp towel) to smooth the top if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \ud83c\udf3c Optional Customizations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Add a puff or pompom<\/strong> to the top for a classic French look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Use variegated yarn<\/strong> for a multi-color swirl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Add a decorative brim<\/strong> using front post\/back post stitches for texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Change hook size<\/strong> for looser or tighter fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83e\uddf6 Sizing Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                Head Size<\/th>Crown Diameter<\/th>Approx. Circumference<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>

                Adult L<\/td>11\u201312 in<\/td>24 in<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                If your beret is too small, add another increase round.
                If it\u2019s too big, remove one increase round before starting the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
