Video tutorial: How to Knit a Slipped Stitch Edge
Introducing the charming Starflower Chunky Beret, a stylish accessory perfect for any woman's wardrobe. This unique beret features a distinctive design where the brim is knitted separately, allowing for an intricate attachment as you pick up stitches from the selvage edge of the brim. The crown decreases beautifully to form a “seven-petal flower,” which is the inspiration behind its lovely name. To add a touch of elegance, the ends of the brim are finished with a decorative button, making this beret a must-have for colder seasons.

Perfect Fit: Designed to fit women sizes, the Starflower Chunky Beret is a versatile piece that enhances both casual and formal outfits.
Yarn Requirements: You will need 2 skeins of Gedifra Highland Alpaca (100 g = 44 yards/41 m) for this delightful project, ensuring a warm and cozy finish.
Needles and Notions:
Utilize US15 (10 mm) and US17 (12 mm) double-pointed needles (or a 24’’/60 cm circular needle) to create this chunky beret.
Additionally, you will need 1 button to complete the finishing touches.
Gauge Information: Achieve the best results with a gauge of 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4x4’’/10x10 cm in Stockinette stitch when using US17 (12 mm) needles. This ensures your beret has the desired slouchy look and feel.
Important Note: If you opt for a different type of yarn, choose needles that will produce a slightly looser texture than usual. This will help you achieve that relaxed slouchy beret style while maintaining a comfortable fit.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this Starflower Chunky Beret is an engaging project that enhances your skills while adding a fashionable piece to your collection. Happy knitting!
