Christmas Jingle Beret

 Hello everyone! now that we’re in December, it is high time for me to post the designs I’ve been working on to commemorate this year’s Christmas and the upcoming new year. So, I’m starting with this Jingle Beret Hat, which comes in two sizes and has a simple pattern. It is knitted using red and green in the spirit of Christmas, but feel free to choose your own palette if you want to go for a neutral, everyday hat. When making this hat I decided to go with a Parisian overall look, and I included this zigzag edge around the head that I think adds a nice touch. I’m linking below my Christmas collection from last year and the year before, so you can select and make a different hat for each of your family and friends:

Spiky Stripes Beanie


Hello everyone! this beanie is an updated/second version of a project I did back in 2016. I have recently revisited the pattern and I found that the instructions were not easy to follow and unnecessarily complicated, So I decided to give this beautiful beanie a makeover. Following the new instructions, you can make two variations of the new hat; you can make a striped beanie using two yarn colors, or don't bother with switching and just stick with a single color. I hope you enjoy making and wearing these hats, so let me know which one you like best.

Heart of Hearts Valentines Beret

 

Hello everyone! It's not usual for me to knit for Valentine’s Day, but I got inspired this year, and thought, why not make a heart themed item that can be a quick gift for a loved one. So, this beret is what I bring you for this year's Valentine’s. I’ve knitted two versions with different yarn weights, as you will see in the rest of this post. For version A, I worked with worsted yarn and used 5 and 6 mm needles, which produced a hat that turned out very big with a loose fit. As for version B I switched to a multi colored, sport weight yarn, which I knitted using 4 and 4.5 mm needles. The resulting hat was more fitted this time. I personally think that both versions have their own charm, so it is up to you to decide which one to make based on what fit you prefer. Hope you all have a love filled Valentine’s Day!

3D Beret

Hi crocheters! I was always fascinated with 3D crochet patterns, but I didn't get the opportunity to integrate any of them into a design of mine. This time, I think it worked well with me, and I really like what came out of this experiment. To me this beret has a military feel to it, maybe because of the shape, or the color choice, though the larger size looks more like a crown, don't you think! I hope you won't be intimidated by the many triangles you make at first, because each is simple to make, joining them takes no time, and before you know it, et vois la! 

Skill level: Intermediate



Materials:

  • Yarn: NAKO Elit Baby 100% premium anti-pilling acrylic, 3.5 oz. (100 g), 273 yards (250 m), in the following colors:

  • Crochet Hook: Size US H (5 mm).
  • Tapestry needle.

  • Size S: head circumference = 20" (51 cm), height = 6.5" (17 cm), diameter = 9" (23 cm).
  • Size M/L: head circumference = 20" (51 cm), height = 7.5" (19 cm), diameter = 11" (28 cm).
Gauge: 22 sts and 10 rounds = 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) in double crochet stitch.

Yardage: 
  • S: 230 - 240 yards (210 - 220 m) approx.
  • M/L: 330 - 340 yards (300 - 310 m) approx.




Crochet terms (US):
  • mc: magic circle.
  • ch: chain.
  • sl st: slip stitch.
  • sctbl: single crochet through back loop.
  • dc: double crochet.
  • fpdc: front post double crochet.
  • bpdc: back post double crochet.




Instructions:

Triangle unit (make 6):

Make a magic circle, or chain five and sl st to first ch. Into the magic circle, work as follows:

Round 1: ch 3, (dc 3, ch 1) twice, dc 2, sl st into the second ch of first ch 3.

Round 2: sl st into the first ch 1 space, (ch 3, dc 2) in the ch 1 space, *fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc, fpdc in dc, (dc 2, ch 1, dc 2) in ch 1 space, repeat from * twice, fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc, fpdc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, sl st to second ch of first ch 3.

Round 3: sl st into the first ch 1 space, (ch 3, dc 2) in the ch 1 space, *(fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 3 times, fpdc in dc, (dc 2, ch 1, dc 2) in ch 1 space, repeat from * twice, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 3 times, fpdc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, sl st to second ch of first ch 3.

Round 4: sl st into the first ch 1 space, (ch 3, dc 2) in the ch 1 space, *(fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 5 times, fpdc in dc, (dc 2, ch 1, dc 2) in ch 1 space, repeat from * twice, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 5 times, fpdc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, sl st to second ch of first ch 3.

Round 5: sl st into the first ch 1 space, (ch 3, dc 2) in the ch 1 space, *(fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 7 times, fpdc in dc, (dc 2, ch 1, dc 2) in ch 1 space, repeat from * twice, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 7 times, fpdc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, sl st to second ch of first ch 3.

Round 6: sl st into the first ch 1 space, (ch 3, dc 2) in the ch 1 space, *(fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 9 times, fpdc in dc, (dc 2, ch 1, dc 2) in ch 1 space, repeat from * twice, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) 9 times, fpdc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, sl st to second ch of first ch 3.

For size M/L: cut yarn, weave in loose ends.


Joining the triangles together:

Note: for the two colored beret, use the skin tone yarn from now on.
Take two triangles and put them together along one side facing backwards, join them as follows: sc the two triangles together through the ch 1 space, then through each dc to next ch 1 space, cut yarn. Attach the rest of the triangles the same way to make a circle. Pull the six threads through the hole in the center, and tie them tightly together until the center opening is closed.









Finishing the beret:

In the middle dc of the free edge of any triangle, make a standing bpdc, or ch 2. Work as follows:

Round 1: (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) to last dc in the first triangle, (fpdc2tog the last dc of the triangle and first dc of next triangle), bpdc in dc, repeat along all triangles to first one, fpdc, (bpdc, fpdc) five(six) times, sl st to second ch of first ch 2.






Note: in the rounds 2-4 rounds, skip each (bpdc, fpdc2tog, bpdc) cluster.

Round 2: ch 2, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) four (five) times, *fpdc2tog, bpdc, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) eight (ten) times, repeat to first triangle, (bpdc, fpdc) four (five) times, sl st to second ch of first ch 2.



Round 3: ch 2, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) three (four) times, *fpdc2tog, bpdc, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) six (eight) times, repeat to first triangle, (bpdc, fpdc) three (four) times, sl st to second ch of first ch 2.

For size M/L only: work the next round.

Round 4: ch 2, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) three times, *fpdc2tog, bpdc, (fpdc in dc, bpdc in dc) six times, repeat to first triangle, (bpdc, fpdc) three times, sl st to second ch of first ch 2.


Beret Band: 

Band round: ch 1 and sctbl into first st, sctbl into each st to end.

For size S: repeat round 3 four times.
For size M/L: repeat round 3 five times. 

Cut yarn. Weave in loose ends.
