About this Pattern
The Blaze Beret is a beautifully textured crochet project designed to be both elegant and customizable. Created in the round using a seamless construction, this beret begins with a magic ring and builds outwards using the lace stitch, combined with double crochet (DC) and front post double crochet (FPDC) techniques for a stylish and structured finish. The project is worked in joined rounds and finishes with a snug, textured brim to hold its shape perfectly.
Crocheted with a combination of Hobbii Friends Extra Fine Merino and Hobbii Friends Kid Silk, this beret offers a soft, luxurious finish. While double-stranding the mohair is optional, it adds a delicate halo effect that elevates the overall look. For optimal results, you’ll need crochet hooks in sizes 4 mm, 3.5 mm, and 3 mm, allowing you to adjust for tension and create a well-fitted brim.
The pattern includes six sizes to suit everyone from toddlers to adults:
Yarn requirements vary depending on the size, ranging from 40 g to 60 g of Extra Fine Merino and 10 g to 25 g of Kid Silk. Adjustments can be easily made by altering the number of increase rows. For smaller sizes, such as newborns, fewer lace stitch sections can be used.
The pattern uses U.S. crochet terminology and includes helpful abbreviations and stitch tutorials for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike. The lace stitch is central to the design, offering a shell-like aesthetic that's both breathable and visually appealing. The Blaze Beret is a satisfying make that combines technique with creativity, ideal for gift-giving or personal wear.
