If you're looking for a fun and stylish accessory to add to your winter wardrobe, consider knitting a crown model beret. This elegant and trendy hat is perfect for keeping you warm on chilly days while adding a touch of sophistication to your outfit. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to knit the crown model beret.

Materials Needed

2 skeins of worsted weight yarn (choose your favorite color)

A pair of size 8 circular knitting needles (16 inches long)

A set of size 8 double-pointed knitting needles

A tapestry needle for weaving in ends

A stitch marker

Instructions

Cast On

Cast on 80 stitches onto your circular knitting needles and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round.

Knit the Ribbing

Knit 2, purl 2, in a rib stitch pattern, for 2 inches (5 cm).

Knit the Body

Knit in stockinette stitch (knit every round) until the hat measures 8 inches (20 cm) from the cast on edge.

Decrease for the Crown

Change to the double-pointed knitting needles when the circumference of the hat becomes too small for the circular needles. Begin decreasing as follows:

Round 1: Knit 8, knit 2 together, repeat to the end of the round (72 stitches remaining).

Round 2: Knit all stitches.

Round 3: Knit 7, knit 2 together, repeat to the end of the round (64 stitches remaining).

Round 4: Knit all stitches.

Round 5: Knit 6, knit 2 together, repeat to the end of the round (56 stitches remaining).

Round 6: Knit all stitches.

Continue in this manner, decreasing every other round until you have 8 stitches remaining.

Finish the Crown

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tightly to close the top of the hat. Weave in all ends with a tapestry needle and your crown model beret is now complete!
