Knit this classic beret with any weight yarn in your stash.
Five yarn weights in one pattern.

I love the classic beret shape. It’s flattering, stylish, and looks great when knitted by hand. I’ve chosen a clean, hemmed brim to make this beret look polished. I’ve also used more increases and decreases than is normally found in a tam pattern, so the beret is shaped like a beret, even before it’s blocked.

• Knitting in the round
• Crochet provisional cast on:

1. Make slip knot on crochet hook.
2. Hold knitting needle in left hand, with left hand also hold crochet hook close to needle tip.
3. Bring yarn behind and over needle, with crochet hook, pull yarn through loop on crochet hook (1 stitch made on L needle).
4. Repeat Step 3 from * to * until required number of stitches are on the needle.
5. Cut yarn and pull through loop on hook to knot. Tie a knot near the end of the final tail to mark where to begin unzipping the cast on.
6. When time to unzip the provisional cast on, pull the yarn tail back through the last loop, and unzip the crocheting, placing the live sts on the smaller-diameter needle as they are released.
