Unique Knitting Pattern for a Cozy Beret
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS The completed beret features a diameter of 11 inches (27.5 cm) at the top and a height of 8 ¾ inches (21.5 cm) from the top to the bottom. This stylish design is specifically tailored to fit a head circumference of 56-59 inches (140-147.5 cm).
MATERIALS To create your own beautiful beret, you will need 1 skein of Origin by Walcot yarn. This luxurious blend is composed of 50% Argentinian Merino and 50% Peruvian Highland Wool, making it 100% free-spirited and perfect for your next knitting project. Each skein provides 210 yards (191 m) of yarn and weighs 100 g. We recommend using the colorway Hippie Heart for a vibrant finish.
If you prefer, you can substitute with approximately 196 yards (178 m) of any worsted-weight yarn that inspires you.
NEEDLES AND TOOLS For this project, you'll need the following knitting needles: - US 2.5 (3 mm) 16-inch (40 cm) circular needles, - US 3 (3.25 mm) 16-inch (40 cm) circular needles, - US 9 (5.5 mm) 24-inch (60 cm) circular needles, - A set of US 9 (5.5 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs). Additionally, make sure to have essential notions on hand, including stitch markers, a darning needle, and a 10-inch plate for blocking your finished beret to achieve the perfect shape.
GAUGE Achieve a precise gauge of 23 stitches x 25 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) square using US 9 (5.5 mm) needles while working in the star stitch pattern, after blocking. This gauge is crucial to ensure your beret fits perfectly and retains the luminous texture of your yarn.
CONSTRUCTION This delightful beret is crafted bottom-up in the round, allowing for seamless construction and a comfortable fit. As you knit, enjoy the creative process and watch your design come to life.
