Funky, Fun Beret
This has been on my list of things to make for awhile and I finally sat down a made one. I made the pattern up as I went but I think it turned out amazing. This is my first beret and my fourth crocheted hat. I had no idea how to do ribbing before going into this project, but quickly learned following how tos online. The button tab just kind of happened following an idea that I thought could possibly work and well it did...It is definately slouchy and comfortable. The stitches I used were dc, fpdc, & bpdc (both of which I had no idea of until today) for the ribbing.

I was thinking of adding a brim which I might do with the second one I make. I am addicted

Would love to hear your opinions....

I will try to answer any questions you may have with the pattern. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to writing up a crochet pattern. I will be working on another one so I will have pictures of how to do the band and tab. I used Acrylic brushed yarn with a K hook. I am unsure of the gauge as I kind of winged it.
