    \ud83d\udcd8 Basic Stitches Used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This beret is perfect for beginners because it uses only basic stitches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Magic ring (or chain ring)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Chain (ch)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Double crochet (dc)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

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

      Step 1: Start with the Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Make a magic ring<\/strong> (or chain 4 and join with a slip stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Work 11 double crochet (dc)<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Join with a slip stitch at the top of the chain 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Increase to Form the Beret Shape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        To make the beret wide and flat, you\u2019ll increase evenly in each round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Round 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Chain 3, 2 dc in each stitch around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Join with slip stitch (24 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Round 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Chain 3, 1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Repeat around (36 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Round 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Chain 3, 2 dc, 2 dc in next stitch<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat around (48 stitches)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udc49 Continue increasing until the circle measures 10\u201311 inches (25\u201328 cm)<\/strong> in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Step 3: Shape the Sides<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Stop increasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Crochet 1 dc in each stitch<\/strong> around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Work 2\u20133 rounds to let the beret gently curve downward.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                This creates the soft, classic beret shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Step 4: Decrease for the Headband<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Now we make the beret fit snugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Chain 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Dc2tog (double crochet two stitches together), 2 dc<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Try it on as you go to check the fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. Crochet 2\u20133 rounds of single crochet (sc)<\/strong> for a neat, stretchy edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 5: Finish the Beret<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Cut yarn and fasten off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Lightly stretch and shape the beret by hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Optional: Add a small stem<\/strong> at the center using chain stitches for a classic French beret look \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
