Among the many different accessories inA woman's wardrobe will certainly contain a beret. It can be a lace and light summer option designed to protect from the scorching sun. For autumn or winter, there are warm berets that retain heat. And, of course, any model is also an additional decoration, serving as an additional touch to the integrity of the image. The name itself is of French or Italian origin and is translated as "flat cap". It is believed that the prototype of the beret was the headdresses of the Celts who lived in the 12th-12th centuries AD. Initially, berets were used not so much for beauty as for convenience. They perfectly protected from bad weather and allowed peasants, who were the first to wear berets, to hide their hair. Over time, such a convenient headdress was appreciated by the military, the beret became an obligatory part of the uniform of medieval soldiers. At the end of the 15th century, the beret became not only useful, but also beautiful. As in most cases, the trendsetters - the French - silk and velvet are used to sew this accessory, it is decorated with feathers, embroidery and pearls. The beret has beautiful buckles, brooches and pins with precious stones. During this period of time, it is worn by both men and women. In Russia, the beret appears at the beginning of the 19th century. At that time, it was worn exclusively by married women. Nowadays, any fashionista can buy this charming accessory. However, only a handmade beret can become a truly original highlight of the image. It is easy to create a beautiful accessory, for example, you can crochet it. In this article, we will offer several options for crocheted berets, with diagrams, photos and a detailed description of the work. Crochet beret with a "bumps" pattern Option 1You will need:

Melange yarn (100% mohair) 100 g;
Hook No. 3.5.

This thread consumption is indicated for size 57.Before you start knitting, you will need to take individual measurements and knit a sample of several rows of dc. This will allow you to calculate the number of loops needed to circumferentially fit your head. In this version of knitting any beret with a crochet hook, the work will begin from the bottom. Knit in a circle, following the pattern.First row: In a ring of 6 ch, knit 3 ch.and 11 dc, finish with 1 sc. Knit the second row making increases in every second loop. Alternate knitting the "bump" with dc. It is quite easy to knit it. To do this, you need to knit 4 unfinished dc from one base loop. There are 5 loops on the hook. Now you need to knit the last 4 loops from the head of the hook, and then knit the remaining two on the hook into one. So, the second row will look like this: 3 ch.p.p., in the next loop of the circle we knit 1 "bump" and 1 dc, in the next loop we knit 1 "bump", then in the fourth loop we knit 1 dc and 1 "bump", etc. Make sure that the st. s/n and "bumps" alternate, regardless of whether they are knitted from one loop or from different ones. Finish 1 s/n in the 3rd ch.p.p. The third row is knitted only with dc. In this model, each odd row should be knitted this way. The number of loops is easy to calculate according to the diagram. We begin each of the rows with 3 ch.p.p. and end with 1 s/n in the 3rd ch.p.p. We knit the fourth and all subsequent even rows, alternating 1 dc and 1 "bump". We begin and end in the same way as in the previous row. We knit with an increase in loops in a circle. When the diameter of the product becomes equal to approximately 22 cm, it is necessary to knit with a pattern without increases down for a distance of about 19 cm. At these stages, you should try it on. If the size of the beret is sufficient, then in the next row it is necessary to reduce the number of loops. Reduce the circumference to the size of the head circumference. Since you have previously knitted a small sample, there will be no difficulty in calculating the loops. Knit 6 rows simply with dc without increases or decreases. At the end, knit everything with a "crayfish step".Option 2This model is not knitted from the center to the bottom, butvice versa. First we make a flat part that covers the head, and then we knit the openwork part. In this beret, the ornament in the form of "cones" is collected in peculiar fans. It turns out very embossed, textured, and due to the winter version of the yarn and a fairly dense pattern, the cold is not scary with such an accessory. You will need:

Yarn (100% merino wool 400 m / 100 g);
Hook No. 3.

We start knitting a beret with an elastic band, whichwraps around the head. For those who can knit, this detail can be done with their help. If you prefer a crochet hook, then choose a pattern of elastic consisting of relief (convex and concave) dc. In this model, the elastic is made 1 x 1, i.e. we knit 1 convex (front) dc, and then 1 concave (purl) dc. Getting started. Cast on the required number of ch and close them in a circle. The first row is knitted with regular dc. We start with 3 ch p p and finish with 1 ss in the 3rd ch p p. The second row. We alternate 1 front relief dc and 1 purl relief dc. The third row and all subsequent ones are knitted similarly to the second. We start them with 2 ch p p. and finish with 1 s.c. in the 2nd ch.p.p. Below are step-by-step patterns for knitting relief st. s/n.We knit the elastic band without increases.Trying on as you go. When it is high enough, you need to knit one row of sc. Knit it as follows: 4 sc, 2 sc with a common base. Continue doubling every fifth loop to the end of the row. Next, knit the first row of the "bumps" pattern. First row 1 ch p.p., 2 sc, *2 ch. Skip 7 loops, knit in the eighth loop (1 dc + 1 ch 6 times + 1 dc), 2 ch, skip 7 loops, 5 sc *. Continue knitting from *, finish with 2 sc and 1 ss in 1 ch p.p. Second row 1 ch p.p. 1 sc, *2 ch. Now in each 1 ch, located between the dc of the first row, knit a "bump", and between them 2 ch, then 2 more ch, in 3 middle sc of the first row knit 3 sc *. Continue from * to the end of the circle, finish with 1 sc and 1 ss in 1 ch p.p. Third row 3 ch p.p. knit three times from the same base loop (1 ch, 1 dc), 2 ch. *Now knit 5 sc in two middle "bumps" and 2 ch between them fans of the second row, 2 ch, and again knit a fan of dc and ch as in the first row from one base loop, which is the middle of the three st. sc of the second row*. Continue from *. Finish with 1 s/n in the 3rd lifting loop. Knit the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th rows as the second. Do the odd ones as the third. How to knit a “bump” was described above. But in the first version it was from 4 dc, and in this one from 5 or even 6, if you want a more “lush” “bump”.This number of rows is quite enough for a beretenough. The last row before decreasing will be the 12th row. In order to close the top of the beret in the 13th row, it is necessary to knit in the fan not 7 dc but 6. Then in the 14th row there will be 5 "bumps" instead of 6. Thus, in each odd row we decrease the number of dc in the fan by one until in the even row there is 1 "bump" in each rapport. Knit all the available loops into one, fasten the thread, cut and hide. Olive beret crochet and scarfThis model is knitted from olive yarn with contrasting dark green stripes. Pearls can add an additional accent. For the beret and scarf you will need:

Olive yarn 300 g (30% acrylic, 70% mohair) 520 m / 100 g;
Dark green yarn 30 g (8% metallic, 92% acrylic) 400 m / 100 g;
Hook No. 3;
Several pearls;

The beret on the model is knitted in size 56. Work starts from the center of the bottom and is done in a circle.First row. Knit with olive-colored yarn.In a ring of 8 ch, knit 3 ch p p and 15 dc. Finish with 1 ss in the 3rd ch p p. Second row. Double the number of loops, knitting 2 dc from each loop of the first round. Instead of the first dc, knit 3 ch p p, finish the row with 1 ss in the 3rd ch p p. Third row. 3 ch p p, 1 dc, 2 dc with a common base, *3 dc, 2 dc with a common base*. Continue from *. Finish with 1 dc and 1 ss in the 3rd ch p p. Fourth row. Knit the doubled loops in every fifth loop of the third circle. Fifth row. Knit the doubled loops in every third loop of the previous row. We start and finish as in the previous rows. The next two rows should be knitted with dark green yarn. The sixth row is 1 ch p.p., then we will knit arches of 3 ch, securing them with sc in every third loop. We knit the last arch in the circle as (1 ch p. + 1 half sc in 1 ch p.p.). The seventh row is knitted without increases with sc in each loop. We start knitting with olive threads again. The eighth row is 1 ch p.p. We make arches of 3 ch, securing them with sc in every fourth loop of the previous row. We finish with 1 ss in 1 ch p.p. We knit the ninth and tenth rows the same way. We knit 5 sc in each arch, in each sc. sc of the previous row, knit 1 sc. Row 11: 3 ch p.p. in sc, knitted in arches, knit 1 dc. in those sc of the previous row, which we knit between the arches, also knit dc. in this sequence twice 1 dc, then 2 dc with one base. Row 12: 3 ch p.p., now knit dc, making 2 dc with a common base only in the first of the two dc with a common base of the previous row. Knit the 13th and 14th rows similarly to the 12th. Work the next two rows with dark green yarn. Row 15: knit arches of 3 ch, securing them with sc in every third loop. Continue knitting according to the pattern. When the circle reaches a diameter of 25 cm, you need to knit two rows of sc without increases. And then four more rows of sc also without adding loops. The 4th row of sc must be done with dark green yarn. Next, knit with decreases of about 12 loops in each circle. At a height of 5 cm, knit 1 row of sc with dark green threads. Try on the product several times during the knitting process. If at this stage the girth of the beret is sufficient, then knit another 3 cm without increases. Now, using dark green yarn, knit the beret according to the third pattern.You can sew pearls along the outline of the darkgreen stripes or create your own pattern. Knit the scarf in length. The number of loops of the set row should be a multiple of 9 + 1. Knit according to the second pattern with olive threads for 180 cm in length. According to the third pattern similar to the beret, make the binding with dark green yarn. Original crochet beret with a pattern of twisted columnsYou will need:

Cashmere yarn sectional dyeing 300 m / 100 g;
Hook No. 3.5.

To make such a column, doon the hook as many yarns as you want the turns to be. Wrap the hook as loosely as possible, this will make it easier for you to pull the working thread through them. Now you need to insert the hook into the loop from which the column will come out. Grab the working thread and pull out the loop. Now pull the working thread through all the loops on the hook, holding them with your fingers. The twisted column is ready.We knit this beret from the bottom to the top.We start working with the flat part that encircles the head. We collect a chain of ch. Its length without tension should be equal to the head circumference. We knit the first row with dc and only now we close it into a ring, knitting 1 ss in the 3rd ch. p.p. The second row. We turn the work over and again knit dc from the inside. Such a fabric turns out to be more textured. We repeat these two rows again and start knitting a pattern with twisted columns. Below is an approximate diagram, but in this model there are differences.First row: 1 ch, 1 st.sc, *skip 5 loops and in the sixth knit 6 twisted columns with a common base. In each column there are 12 turns. Then again skip 5 loops and then knit 2 tbsp. sc*. Continue in a circle from *. The number of fans of twisted columns should be 9. The number of skipped loops between them can be varied from 5 to 7 to adjust the number of fans, as well as their desired height. The second row is made with tbsp. s/n. Knit them in each loop. If you want to make the beret wider, then knit not two loops between the fans, but three or more. The third row is knitted with connecting posts, without tightening the thread. The fourth row is crocheted with a “crayfish step”. Knit from the first to the fourth row two more times. It turns out a total of 12 rows. Starting from the 13th, knit decreases. We make fans of five twisted columns. Each column has 10 turns. The next two rows we make fans of 4 columns of 10 curls. Then one row of 3 columns (number of turns = 7), then a row of 2 columns of 6 turns. The last circle will consist of 12 twisted columns of 5 turns in each with a common top. Fasten the thread, cut and hide. We tie the bottom of the beret with a “crayfish step” through 1 loop. Openwork beret from motifsA very delicate and feminine beret is knitted from hexagonal and pentagonal motifs. You will need:

Yarn made from 100% mercerized cotton;
Hook No. 2.5.

Below is a very detailed diagram of the execution of motifs and options for connecting them. It is necessary to connect 25 hexagonal and 6pentagonal blanks. It is necessary to connect the parts into one fabric in the process of making the last row. When all the motifs are connected together, it is necessary to tie them along the edge, as shown in the diagram, securing dc and sc in the arches of ch. Next, knit seven rows of sc. In the last row, make a picot in every 4th loop. Hexagonal motif First row. In an amigurumi ring of 6 loops, knit arches of 2 ch, securing them with two dc with a common top and base. Second row. In each top of two dc we knit (1 sc + 5 ch + 1 sc), in the arches of 2 ch we knit 2 sc. Third row. In the arches of 5 ch. knit (4 dc + 2 ch + 4 dc). Finish with 2 ss. Row 4. In dc knit *3 sc, then 5 ch over the 2 ch arch, 3 sc, 3 ch, skip 2 loops, *. Continue from *. We will get 6 arches of 5 ch, which will become the corners of the motif. The pentagonal motif is knitted in the same way, but the number of loops in the amigurumi ring will be 5. In the last row of arches of 5 ch there will also be 5.
