The Granny Crochet Beret Hat Pattern
Tired of the same old crochet beanies? Ready to add a touch of Parisian chic to your wardrobe? Then grab your hook, because the Granny Crochet Beret Hat is the perfect project for you!
It works up like lightening, it’s super cozy, and it gives the beret a cool, modern texture. The Granny Crochet Beret Hat is crocheted in the round using lovely little clusters of double crochets (the granny stitch), which creates a soft, draped fabric that falls just right.
Why You Need This Beret in Your Life!
1: Instant Gratification: You need a gift for a friend tomorrow? You have a random skein of yarn that needs a purpose? The Granny Crochet Beret Hat is your superhero.
2: Yarn Stash Buster: It’s a great project for that single, lonely ball of yarn that’s too nice to throw out but not enough for anything big.
3: Beginner – Friendly Pattern: It primarily uses the chain (ch) and double crochet (dc) stitches, which are the foundational stitches of crochet. If you can make a granny square, you can make this beret! It’s repetitive enough to be relaxing but engaging enough to keep you motivated.
So, ditch that blanket project (just for tonight!) and grab your hook. The free pattern for the Granny Crochet Beret Hat is waiting for you. Happy hooking, you stylish granny, you!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Medium weight yarn. In the picture I used about 350 yards of Caron Blossom Cakes in Cabana.
- Size H (5 mm) crochet hook.
GAUGE: 14 single crochet = 4 inches.
Please take the time to check your gauge because there is only one size (the hat band will measure about 17 inches in circumference).
