CAPS , HAT n BERETS

There are so many lovely caps, hats n berets available on the free world wide web, and it makes me so thankful that there are so many wonderful people who design things and then put it up for free.  What a wonderful world we live in.

Instructions : 
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.  This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project. 
This is a really cute pattern, that should work for any head size, I think – because of the lee-way provided by the tie-up on the side, which not only looks great but is also functional. This lovely red chapeau made with Indian Vardhaman Millenium yarn and a 4.5 mm hook has been made using this pattern link.

For my next beret made it with some lovely Stylecraft yarn and a 4.5 mm crochet hook

For my third unisex cap made with a combination of Stylecraft as well as our Indian Vardhaman Millennium yarn and a 4.5 mm crochet hook, I used my own original free design called Vaada slouchy.  In the original slouchy pattern, you extend it for as long as you want, but with this one, I just made it to fit snug around the head n ears.
