Crochet Pastel Flower Beret Free Pattern: A Classic Design

I love this design so much! Indeed, this French beret features so many of the things I love in crochet. Firstly the cotton pastel color that I chose is so lovely and feminine. I crocheted this new design with Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn in shade Mint, and it is such a delicate and stunning color.

This color looks stunning once crocheted up; after I finished the main beret part, I crocheted little flowers to stitch onto the project. For this part of the project, I used a fine fingering yarn to create a more delicate effect. The little flowers were crocheted with DMC Natura yarn. This is actually the yarn I used for the Whimsical Flower Crown design I made last Summer.

These delicate little flowers are stitched onto the front of the beret. I love how lovely and dainty this makes this otherwise simple French beret design. These small details elevate the project so much, and I am so pleased with the overall design.

Crochet Pastel Flower Beret Free Pattern: An Elegant Design

This crochet beret is not only feminine, but very elegant too. Let me know in the comments if you enjoy beret designs as much as I. Berets designs are so beautiful and dainty, and I love creating these patterns. If you are familiar with my work, you will know that I have crocheted quite a few beret patterns.

This Coquette French Beret is also a great design if you are looking for a lovely and feminine beret design. Crocheted with cotton yarn, this pattern is easy to make and features a shell stitch edging.

I love crochet berets and can’t wait to release more designs. Berets is very dainty and creating free patterns is so much fun! I love these designs, especially because I can add lit

Pattern begins here

Using Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn and 4 mm crochet hook.

Ch 4, sl st to form a ring.

1: Ch 3 (=DC), place 11 DC inside the ring (=12 DC total). Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

2: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place 2 DC inside next DC until eor (=24 DC total). Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

3: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place DC in next st, [2 DC in next st, 1 DC in next st] until eor (=36 DC total). Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

4: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 2 stitches] until oer (=48 DC total). Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

5: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 3 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

Round 6

6: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 4 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

7: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 5 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

8-13: Repeat this process, of adding 12 stitches per round. You can achieve this by always adding 1 DC on its own in every section of each round. A section of a round is the part between the 2 DCs in one stitch which are spaced all around the rounds evenly.

For example, round 8 will be as follows:

Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place DC in next 6 st, [2 DC in next st, DC in next 6 st] until oer. Sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close off round.

Round 14 (to create beret shape)

Ch 1 (=TC), SC in 1^st stitch, place your stitch marker in this stitch. [Sk 1 st, SC in next st] until eor; sl st to first SC to close off round.

15: Ch 1 (=TC), SC into 1^st stitch; SC into next stitch until eor.

16-23: Repeat round 15.

Tidy up all loose ends.

Make sure you gently pull on center loose end (where we began), to close up centre. Weave in the end to avoid unraveling, fasten off loose end.

Create the 3 flowers

For this part, you will be crocheting 3 flowers (one yellow and 2 pink).

Flower pattern

You will be using yellow shade of Natura DMC in shade Ble (yellow shade) and 3 mm crochet hook.

Ch 4, slip stitch to 1^st chain to create a circle.

1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), place 5 SC into this circle. Sl stitch to 1^st SC to close off round.

Note: Make sure you fasten in your loose end under your stitches, so that you can pull this loose end to tighten original circle made of 4 chains or magic circle.

2: * Ch 2 (=HDC), place HDC into same 1^st stitch, ch 1, sl st through the next SC from previous round *; repeat from * to * another 4 times. Place your last slip stitch under the 1^st stitch where you began.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing into project.

Pull yarn gently so as to close off the beginning circle so that the flower does not unravel. Fasten off this centre loose end.

Repeat this process twice with the pink shade.

Sew flowers onto the project

Place beret onto a flat surface, and identify the back of the beret (for me this is where the seam is visible on the brim).

Place the beret with the back/seam facing down, and place the 3 flowers onto the top part of the beret as seen in photograph below.

Now sew the flowers gently onto the project using the loose ends and tapestry needle. Once you are happy with the stitching of the flowers, fasten off the yarn (tidy up the loose ends is optional as the stitching is only visible on the inside of the beret.
