Make a classic beret hat with this digital sewing pattern.
The beret is a timeless classic, and a perfect wear-with-everything hat. This is my personal favourite hat, ideal for wearing on cool days through the Autumn and Winter season, made up in cosy wool fabrics. I personally love using it to recycle old coats and jackets. The beret has a sectioned crown, a side band, and a fabric-covered button on the top. It can be made lined or unlined, and is meant to have a floppy look. It can be worn on the top or back of the head, or on an angle to one side.
Taking less than a metre of fabric (most sizes and layouts are less than half a metre) and a few hours to complete, it is a lovely little project, good for using leftover yardage or recycled materials.
There are two views. View A has a six-section crown and narrow side band. View B has an eight-section crown and a wide side band. The side band and crowns of either view can be combined for a total of 4 beret looks.
Sizes
The beret pattern is in 3 sizes
1 – 53-55 cm (approx. 21-21.75 inches)
2 – 55-57 cm (approx. 21.75-22.5 inches)
3 – 57-59 cm (approx. 22.5-23.25 inches)
Difficulty: This is a relatively simple pattern to follow. Some of the sewing is a little tricky, but requires no special knowledge, just patience.
