Beret is not only a beautiful headdress, which is associated with French women, but also a convenient and fashionable accessory. He always gave a feminine look a bit of romance and refinement.
We pick up our own hands
Before you go to the store for a typical beret, it is worth thinking about - rather than whether to tie a female beret yourself? After all, a thing that has its own hands has a lot of advantages! The most important advantage is that such beret will become unique and will fully meet all your preferences and tastes.
For some reason, the beret is most often associated with a light cap for the spring-autumn period. But this is too narrow and banal about it. You can connect not only demi-season, but also warm berets crochet. For the summer suit berets openwork hooks, for winter - dense insulated versions. Openwork is always in fashion! Open-work cap-takes a crochet will not leave anyone indifferent.
In addition, for needlewomen who are even slightly familiar with the knitting technique, it will not be difficult to tie the summer or winter berets with a crochet.
To do this, you will need: special threads (most often preference is given to wool), paper threads, silk, zinelka or soutache, hook for knitting. And also minimal knitting skills with the help of a hook, an instruction and a little time.
Preparation
First, decide what kind of beret you will knit. One of the important points - the right choice of thread for knitting. For light models, you can use flax, silk, cotton threads, with lurex and without. If in doubt, contact the consultant in the store and he will tell you the best option. In the same place, finally determine the color of the future product. Now in vogue bright accessories, so do not hesitate and choose a thread of bright colors.
After you choose the style of the future headgear and the material for it, it's time to start knitting.
Let's start knitting
We start to knit beret from the middle. We select five air loops and close them in a ring, in which we tightly engage as many columns without a crochet as fit. After that, we knit in a spiral fashion. With an interval of one loop, we add two bars to each stitch.
Consider the thickness of the thread. If the thread is thin, add sticks, with thick - do it less often. The third row is added at the same interval through the loop. In all subsequent ranks, the increase will be less frequent. When berets are tied with a crochet, it is important for beginners to evenly add loops and carefully watch that the circle remains flat.
To take it turned out really beautiful, the main thing is to add as many stitches in the rows as you added in the second row. It is better when the distance between the columns remains the same everywhere.
So, when the beret circle has reached the required value, further we knit evenly, without adding columns on average 4-5 cm. After we start to reduce the number of loops. In each row we remove two loops. Remember the previously described uniform addition! We also apply it when decreasing the columns. In addition, in order to properly tie a beret, make sure that the added column is not above the already added one. The same is true for decremented columns.
At the last stage of knitting, remove the sticks until the beret does not reach the desired size in accordance with the girth of the head. The mating is completed by means of several dense rows. After that, you can decorate your take with ribbons, beads and other decorative elements to your taste.
The original beret is ready!
