Hello! I haven’t been able to crochet much this week because I have taken on a big DIY project at our house! I shared on Instagram and Facebook some of the painting work I have been doing. You don’t realize how much trim you have in your house until you want to change it all from wood to white!
However, I did take a break the other day to crochet for awhile and came up with an adorable new pattern I want to share with all of you: The Crochet Beret! It’s fun to say and fun to wear! For this hat, I used Caron Cakes in Blueberry Kiwi. I did cut the yarn when the colors didn’t line up perfectly for the stripes because I wanted a crisper look, but I am sure it would be awesome in any color combinations!

For this hat I used an H/8 (5.0mm) hook.

Fasten off and weave in ends.
I hope you have enjoyed this Crochet Beret pattern! It’s a slight variation on the basic beanie that gives it the unique beret shape. I’m going to use the rest of my cake to make another hat, since I didn’t get to the blue stripe in the Blueberry Kiwi with this one!
