Crochet crochet beret pattern

How nice of you to find this for us! My friend crochets. I will ask her to help me make one of these.
Thanks,
Susan

 

I crochet, and this pattern makes no sense to me. It does'nt say how MANY stitches in each round to do, just says spiral pattern. Please correct?
Thanks, Tambra

 

The pattern is perfectly correct I believe.Im not good at reading crochet patterns(not because I cant but because I dont read carefully) but I do understand this one easily.You will not be joining any rounds,thats why it doesnt say how many stitches per round.You keep on going in a spiral so all stitches are basically one continuous piece.When you get to the last stitch where you would normally do a slip stitch, you just jump to the top of the next stitch and crochet as normal.I hope I made this clear enough.I think Ill have to give this pattern a try over the weekend.Thanks for posting it!!

 

it makes sense. spiral crochet is easier in my mind anyway.

 

Do any of you have pictures of your crocheted beret?

 

Did anyone ever actually finish this pattern? I'm going to give it a try...see what I can come up with...

 

I'm assuming from seraphim's location that this pattern is written using British crochet terms, which differ slightly from American terms. A British treble crochet (tr, trble) is an American double crochet (dc). Thought it would be worth noting.

 

Looks like no one has crocheted this pattern yet..... I think I'll try. Keep ya posted!

 

It's a fairly simple schematic to making berets and tams, personally I make mine (mostly human-sized) by crocheting a circle, with regular increases (ie first row is 2 in each stitch, second row increases every other stitch, third row every third stitch) until I get to the right size and start decreasing backwards; like if it's every ninth stitch increased, I do a row of one-in-one before a row decreasing every eighth and ninth stitch into one. The decreases do need to 'step it up' as it goes smaller, but only every second or third row gets a noted 'skip' in the count, if that makes sense... LIke after a row of decreasing every fifth one, if it's still too big and floppy try doing every third stitch in the next row. I just eyeball it, try a few in scrap yarn and you'll be able to eyeball it too.

 

thank you for sharing this

 

I definitely think this beret is a must have accessory for my girls. Also, the pattern seems very simple to do. Thank you for posting the pattern!
