Selection of yarn and hook
What kind of yarn should it be, and what determines the choice. The master begins choosing yarn by assessing the model; often it already has some clues.
Choose yarn depending on the season for which the garment will be created. For example, a beret can be summer, winter, spring (autumn). And here the composition is important.
To face the winter frost, it is better to choose yarn with a large amount of wool. Fine yarn and a lot of cotton is typical for the summer version.
And here demi-season — can pamper themselves with mixed yarn. The hook always comes second.
The thin part of the hook should be 2 times larger than the thread.

- hook No. 8.

2nd row: there should be 10 double crochets = in each of the 5 previous elements make 2 double crochets.
Knit the shells according to the pattern to the desired diameter. Then two rows with small decreases. All that remains is to make an elastic band using 4 cm single crochets. The beret is ready, you can knit a good scarf with a similar pattern.

The finished model is ideal for a girth of 56-57 cm. Work begins with a special sliding loop. Then 3 chain stitches and 11 double crochets in the ring. Tighten the loop. Knitting proceeds strictly according to the pattern.
Increases create to the required diameter. In this model, the widest circle is 18 “bumps”. Decreases towards the end of the beret, make symmetrical increases: in places where there are increases, make 2 raised columns together.
Next, the elastic band is crocheted 1*1. The length of the elastic is 5-7 rows and we finish knitting. It is advisable to finish the edge of the product with a “crawfish step” pattern.
How to make an elastic band: with the help of embossed posts, an imitation of elastic is obtained using 1*1 knitting needles. To do this, creating convex columns, insert the hook into the columns of the previous row. But make concave columns in the usual way.

This model looks equally good on girls and women. Plus the universal white color. Can be made in any other color. The only thing is that white color is the way to repel hot rays and prevent you from overheating on hot summer days.
To work you will need:

- hook 0.75.
The pattern begins with 8 air loops, then circular knitting. All rows are marked with increases and decreases. Separately, a diagram of the elastic band. An elastic band made of convex and concave columns is very similar to a 1*1 elastic band with knitting needles.

- small label;
- hook No. 2.
As for flowers, you can trust not only these flowers. Yellow and blue also give a wonderful combination of colors. You can try and experiment with different options. And if it’s difficult for you to choose the most appropriate color, you can always use color combination tables. Even an experienced craftsman comes to a point when his imagination runs out and he turns to new models for help.
Knit according to the pattern with increases and decreases in the pattern. The elastic band is also crocheted. Alternating rows of convex and concave columns.
A pompom made of dark yarn is a decoration. It's easy to create a smooth transition. Since it is knitted in two threads, in the middle of the beret, instead of two blue ones, there will be different ones (one gray, the other blue). And closer to the pompom, knit with two gray threads. The result will be a fashionable beret using the ombre technique.
