Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to knit a beret! Knitting a beret can be a fun and rewarding project, and with a little patience and practice, you’ll have a stylish accessory to wear or gift. Whether you’re new to knitting or an experienced crafter, this guide will walk you through the process, so let’s get started!

Materials You’ll Need

  • Worsted weight yarn in your preferred color
  • Size 8 knitting needles (circular or double-pointed)
  • A set of size 8 double-pointed needles
  • A tapestry needle for weaving in ends
  • Scissors

Step 1: Cast On Stitches

To begin, cast on 88 stitches onto your circular needles. If you prefer to use double-pointed needles, divide the stitches evenly onto four needles, with 22 stitches on each needle.

Step 2: Knit the Ribbing

Using a knit 2, purl 2 ribbing pattern, work the ribbing for about 1 inch. Repeat this pattern until the desired length is reached.

Step 3: Begin Shaping the Crown

Switch to stockinette stitch by knitting all stitches in the round. Continue knitting until your work measures approximately 7 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to periodically try on your beret to ensure a perfect fit.

Step 4: Decrease Stitches

Now it’s time to decrease stitches to shape the crown of your beret. Begin by knitting 2 stitches together, then knit 6 stitches. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round. For the next round, knit all stitches. Continue alternating these two rounds until only a few stitches remain.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once you have only a few stitches left, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through a tapestry needle and slip the needle through the remaining stitches. Pull tight to close the top of the beret. Lastly, weave in any loose ends with the tapestry needle.

And there you have it! You’ve successfully knitted your very own beret. Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors and stitch patterns to create berets that match your style. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t flawless. Keep knitting and enjoy wearing your fashionable berets!
