The word "beret" in translation from Italian means "flat hat". It is this model of headgear that has remained popular with the fair sex for many years. This accessory is universal, as it suits the smallest princesses, young girls, and middle-aged women. Therefore, needlewomen who are "friends" with knitting needles and crochets are trying to create knitted women's berets for themselves, their relatives and friends. The execution schemes are diverse, ranging from a simple dense canvas to intricate aerial openwork. This article is devoted to those needlewomen who want to learn how to knit such a hat with their own hands . Here are two descriptions of its implementation - knitting and crocheting. These models are simple in execution, but very beautiful and comfortable to wear.
Takes a woman: learning to knit
This version of the headgear is made by the pattern "Fine mesh", which makes it light and airy. If you knit a beret from half-woolen yarn, then you can wear such an accessory in spring and autumn. From a cotton or viscose thread, you will get a hat that will be very useful in summer evenings.
In order to tie a female beret, you will need knitting needles on a fishing line No. 3,5, No. 3 and 100 g of yarn (200 m). The cuffs (lower part) of the product are made by thread in two additions in circular rows.
Type 110 stitches onto the knitting needles No. 3. Knit the first row of the front. Place the next 10 rows with a 2 x 2 elastic band: alternating 2 front loops with 2 wrong loops. Next, change the knitting needles to No. 3,5 and continue working with the "Fine mesh" pattern into one thread. It is performed according to the following description.
- 1st circular row: * 1 yarn, 2 loops to knit together front *. Repeat pattern from * to *.
- 2nd row: all loops should be decorated with faces. Repeat the pattern from the 1st row.
When the product reaches a height of 25 cm, you need to go to the garter stitch, while in the row evenly reduce 10 loops. In each 2nd row 3 times make a decrease in the number of loops. Pull the loops remaining on the knitting needles and fasten the thread. The product is ready!
Crochet a hat for ladies
The following description describes how to carry a female crochet. The main thing here is to properly execute the “pancake”. This is what knitters call the top of a hat. She knits according to the rule of the circle with any kind of loops. If you need a warm beret, then do it with single crochet or single crochet. It is much more interesting to make an accessory in the summer version with openwork patterns. To create such a beret, you can take the description and the manufacturing scheme of a round napkin as a basis. That's exactly what many needlewomen do. The photo shows the simplest scheme of the openwork circle in execution. When the diameter of the "pancake" reaches the size you want, proceed to knitting the sides of the cap. Knit them with the selected pattern, while performing uniform decreases of 10 stitches in each circular row. Try on a female beret while working on your head. Try to adjust the decreases so that by the time the product reaches the desired size, the volume of the cap also matches the circumference of the head. Follow the last two rows with single crochet. Cut and fasten the thread.
Dressing
According to these descriptions, you can easily perform women's berets. You’ll succeed in connecting them, believe me! The finished product will look smart if it is decorated. For these purposes, a variety of decorative elements are suitable: knitted flowers, leaves, ribbon bows, beads, rhinestones. All these "little things" will give the product a finished look and a special chic.
