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

          Round 1: Center of the Beret<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Make a magic ring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

            • Sl st to join (24 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              This creates the flat circular base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

              Round 3: Continue Increasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Ch 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st<\/em> \u2014 repeat around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sl st to join (36 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Round 4: Shape the Beret<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Ch 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • 1 dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st<\/em> \u2014 repeat around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Sl st to join (48 sts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Your work should now look like a flat circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \u27a1\ufe0f Stop here for a snug beret<\/strong>
                    \u27a1\ufe0f Add this round for a looser, slouchy style<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n\n\n\n

                    Rounds 6\u20138: Create the Sides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Ch 3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Dc in each stitch around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Sl st to join<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      Round 9: Shape the Band<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                      • Sl st to join<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        This tightens the opening so the beret stays on your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n

                        Finish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
