Free Crochet Pattern: Six Beret | Winter Edition

This is a crocheted piece.

This is a very easy crochet beret.
I think the lines that resemble a six-piece hat are easy to make and can be a bit fun to finish.

Another point is that it has a simple design and is easy to adjust the size.
There is a picture of my fifth-grade daughter modeling the hat, and it fits me perfectly.

Most berets tend to have a diameter of around 26-28cm, so keep that in mind when adjusting the size to your liking.
The knit fabric is stretchy, so be sure to check that it fits properly when you put it on.

If I'm measuring correctly, my head circumference is about 54cm, so the head circumference size listed below may seem small just by looking at the numbers, but when I actually wear it, it feels just right.

The piece in the picture is knitted with medium-weight wool yarn.
It was a simple and cute yarn with neps, a little plump, and a little fluffy.
I knitted it softly using slightly thicker needles.

If the gauge changes due to the yarn or the knitter's hand, you can simply adjust it by adjusting the number of rows you knit (increasing or decreasing stitches), so be sure to find your favorite yarn.

It would be fun to knit different colors or parent-child or brother-sister pairs!
Once you get the hang of it, I think things will go much more smoothly from the second one onwards.

Instructions

① After casting on the loop, repeat the process of making a chain of 8 stitches every 2 double crochets 6 times, then pull it through to the 3rd stitch of the chain at the start.

② In each row, crochet 8 chain stitches between double stitches in 6 places per round.
For rows 2 to 11, increase the stitch each row in the double stitch section.
As you continue knitting, you will begin to understand the pattern for increasing stitches (increase every other stitch → increase every second stitch → increase every third stitch, etc.), so when adjusting the size larger, just increase the number of rows a few more times using the same pattern.

For rows 11 to 16, knit the double stitch section, decreasing each row.
In the knitting pattern, stitches are increased up to row 11 (increasing every 9 stitches), so row 12, where stitches begin to decrease, is knitted while decreasing every 9 stitches.
If you adjust the size larger and continue increasing stitches up to, for example, "increase every 12 stitches," when you start decreasing, decrease from "decrease every 12 stitches."

③In the knitting pattern, the stitches are reduced to the 16th row.
It's okay to stop reducing at any step. Once you've reduced the stitches to a certain extent, try putting it on and reduce the stitches until the head circumference is just right, but there is a step before you can check.
The chains between the double stitches will probably still be sticking out, so we will finish this part temporarily.
First, while looking at the front of the knitted fabric, insert the crochet hook above the first chain loop and pull the second chain loop out from under the first loop.
Then, pull the third loop out from under the second loop you just pulled out.
Next, pull the fourth loop out from under the third loop...repeat this until you reach the last loop.
This will give the hat a nice shape, so try checking the size in this state.

If the hat isn't deep enough (you won't know until you've started knitting), try increasing the diameter or adding a row with the same number of stitches between the last row of the increase and the row where you start to decrease to adjust the depth.
However, I think it's better to avoid knitting too many rows without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches, as this will help maintain the design.

④Once you have completed the decrease row, continue with the same yarn and knit the final row of quarter stitches.
To make the chain loop, gather the chain into a bundle and knit a small stitch. This will secure the chain loop.

⑤ Add decorations to the top if you like.
This piece has a pompom made by wrapping thread around 100 times around a 7cm long piece of cardboard.
