Sample

18 mx 22 rows for 10cm by 10 cm with 4.5 mm needles in stocking st. < Important : Check sample and adjust needle number if necessary.

Realization

With the 3.5 mm circular needles, cast on 90 stitches, place a marker ring and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches. Knit 4.5 cm of 1/1 rib. Continuing with the 4.5 mm needles, knit one row, purl, 2 rows then start the increases as follows:

1st increase: * AI, 9 meD * repeat on the whole row.

Knit 3 rows.

2nd increase: *AI, 10 meD* repeat on the whole row.

Knit 3 rows.

3rd increase: * AI, 11 meD * repeat on the whole row.

Continue to knit until piece measures 9.5 cm.

Purl 2 rows then knit 2 rows.

Then start the decreases:

1st decrease: * 10 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the entire row.

Knit 3 rows.

2nd decrease: * 9 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the whole row.

Knit 3 rows.

3rd decrease: * 8 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the entire row.

Knit 3 rows.

4th decrease: * 7 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the whole row.

Knit 3 rows.

5th decrease: * 6 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the whole row.

Knit 3 rows.

6th decrease: * 5 sts, 2 Tog * repeat on the whole row.

Knit 1 row.

Now alternate 1 row of decreases with 1 knit row, decreasing 1 stitch each time (4 sts + 2 tog; 3 sts + 2 tog, etc…).

When you finish with 2 stitches together on the whole row, cut the yarn about ten centimeters from the knitting and pass it through the remaining stitches. Tighten and tuck all the wires. Sew a pompom to the top of the beret.

PS: For a better hold of the beret, I advise you to sew an elastic ribbon after the ribs.
