From step 13 on it’s just one round of knitting , not two. This until the end.

cast on 72 with a size 7? it came out small

[@ctangng]

I tried the pattern, the author of this comment is right, point 10) should read 112 st. (8 sets of 12+2) not 114. Thanks @nm541 for the written pattern Thank you Kerry for sharing on KZbin. For those who find the cast on stitches produce too small a hat, please check your gauge. It may seem small but when fitted, it provides some tightness for hat to stay. Besides when hat is worn over time, it will get looser. Just my personal experience with this pattern. Happy knitting everyone!

[@hugyouagain]

How much yarn did you use?

[@KenZchameleon]

​@ctangng I'm making this for a Secret Santa gift, size large, so 23". 72 stitches only gives me 13" but casting on any more doesn't look right. Any ideas?

[@jenny_gil]

This beret is adorable! I'm looking forward to knitting this after I finish my first project

[@KerryDoesThings]

Thank you!

[@judygrayson7896]

Love the lip and matching hat. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@KerryDoesThings]

Thank you!

[@patriciaquinn2972]

You're having too much fun doing this! Love the beret and its color. The background music is entertaining as well. Great instructional video done by a lovely young lady! :-)

[@myravragon9992]

I like this beret, cause it's summer,

[@josephquinn7241]

Well produced tutorial for a small project. Love the final product! Very cute.

[@kathleengreen6889]

I agree about berets! I knit many of them, including four red ones-one being for my granddaughter’s American Girl doll, during this past year. For St. Patrick’s Day, 2020, I knit 8 for presents for the St Patrick’s Day party I had to cancel-but I gave everyone their beret or hat. I am definitely going to knit your pattern asap! Thank you, Kerry. ☘️

[@johannaudio3334]

I've made two of these now! My second one I used a twisted rib instead just because my normal 1x1 rib felt a bit too wonky for my personal liking, but it's such a nice hat regardless. I collect berets, like a lot of them but sometimes there aren't any in the colours that I want, so I can now knit my own!

[@49amiller]

Would’ve loved if this tutorial had time stamps so I can follow each step in order. And also slower demos when you show yourself knitting a step. I’ve made so many mistakes, but it’s a learning process! I appreciate the amount of work you put into making this video for us😊

[@KerryDoesThings]

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll do exactly what you recommended in future tutorials!

[@IreneLeong-b3z]

A very good teacher and you are beautiful !

[@marinaturmo9401]

Tried this but freestyled it a bit... It turned out quite nice! I added a pompom too hehe. Now I'm trying a second time without so much freestyle (cause mine looks a bit too bumpy! Should have trusted your instructions!) easy to follow tutorial and great energy. Keep on the good work! Xx

[@Su_Xi.]

Hi ! I'm new to knitting, how long should the cables of the circular needles be?😊

[@pama.6410]

Is there a formula to follow if we want to make this larger or smaller? I made one and wear it all the time. So appreciate how you get right to the point and trust us to do what needs to be done.

[@SusanSchnauzerlady]

Nice pattern Im going to make it in wool next time.

[@debrarodriguezestrada2748]

Definitely will mAke this! Thank you

[@christinecomegys-reiners6487]

Ok i tried it 😊i think it turned out nice i combined pink hygee yarn and red hart pink variegated yarn 🧶 its fuzzy and cute. I just had hard time with hygee because it was two strands at a time. I enjoyed this thank you very much. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@gabrielapilkova4044]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! If I wanted to change the size of yarn/needles, in multiples of what would I have to start for the pattern to still work?

[@marycassidy1695]

she said light yarn , then medium weight. is it DK or worsted???

[@dianewobb7935]

This beret was very cute ,I hope you are planning on more projects I love watching when some one makes stuff on a prodcast , I've been knitting since I was 10 or so and I still have problems understanding directions on a patterns cause where I live no one knits that I have ran in to, so keep up the great patterns, thank Diane Ps, would it be possible if you can do the flex sweater everyone I see doesn't finish the increases I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not the pattern is on tin can knits but I'm still having problems with it thank you. once again Diane

[@eileendavey4575]

Is there a way of upsizing beret. I have a larger head (59cm). Adding more stitches at cast on rib? How many?

[@sarahbilicki]

You are SO pretty!

[@KerryDoesThings]

Thank you so much! You’re too sweet!

[@littlesammyf7380]

This is my pallet cleanser project, I’ve been crocheting lots recently and planning to knit some jumpers over Christmas but this is going to be wonderful to use up some fingering weight and mohair yarns. New Sub here, love your videos, happy Christmas 🎄

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I made this hat with #7 needles and DK weight yarn. I followed your directions exactly! The hat is tiny and I don’t think it will even fit a child. What did I do wrong?

[@RayRed13]

Maybe you should make a gauge first. It's what I did. My yarn and size needles are different from her but I'm following the tutorial with my own size / stitches

[@MooseCall]

I also knit mine on size 7 US, with a medium weight yarn. It is a child size. A very small child.

[@trose1118]

she is using Worsted Weight #4 medium yarn that could be one problem. You can also increase your stitches to 86 this will fit an adult head size with regular hats...not sure how 86 sts will do for a beret. I have made hundreds upon hundreds of hat but just going to start a beret. Will have to come back and let you know how the increase works. Good luck with your beret. :)

[@janej3883]

@@trose1118 hey just wondering how the 86 sts worked? I'm about to start a beret and decided to start with 86 as well!

[@susanhoward47]

Thank you for this easy to follow video.You look great .I will definitely knit one or two xxx

[@sinahazar3238]

Looks easy thanks for video tutorial. I am making a berret hat for a friend and myself. Love your lipstick color 💕

[@Su_Xi.]

Hi ! I'm new to knitting, how long should the cables of the circular needles be?😊

[@KerryDoesThings]

I typically use 10 in and 16 in for the most part.

[@ประคองแนบกระโทก]

So cute💖

[@fibercrafts_rcool9074]

Will 16 inch circular needles be long enough?

[@lizmansi3692]

Super cute! Is the pattern written down somewhere?

[@eonsdayz3231]

So bc I’ve been making one and knitting from the front, that’s why my mittens have holes like lace?! Thanks!

[@hazelsmith8701]

Do you knit knit rows to a certain width before you start to decrease?

[@mpumibikitsha6891]

I love it!❤🙏🏽

[@lexc.4680]

Have you ever made a felted beret? I would love to see your take on one

[@KerryDoesThings]

No I haven’t! I have never felted anything before!

[@lexc.4680]

@@KerryDoesThings I recently felted a tam, it was honestly really fun

[@newbiemama]

How do I increase the size of the beret ? Cast on 82 ?

[@mariasnook6558]

I’d like to make it from bulky yarn. Size 6 with size 11 & 15 needles. How can I convert this pattern to using those materials?

[@sharonpolk4103]

When I k2 inc I only come up with 98 stitches. What am I doing wrong?

[@sinahazar3238]

Hi Kerry, if was to make the hat a little larger, how many stitches would I cast on?

[@hugyouagain]

How much yarn did you use?

[@stitchincrime]

I have been looking for a good beret pattern that was simple (beginner) and even the beginner ones I found just were too difficult

[@KerryDoesThings]

Yay! That’s awesome!!!

[@jenlim101]

What yarn did u use?

[@-CatAlyst-]

Is there a way to make it bigger? I finished mine but I feel like it's kind of small for my head because the wool I used isn't as chunky

[@KerryDoesThings]

I would add 8 stitches at the beginning and adjust accordingly.

[@-CatAlyst-]

@@KerryDoesThings Ah, okay thanks!!

[@-CatAlyst-]

@@KerryDoesThings Yes!! This worked so well and I'm super excited how it turned out thank you so much!

[@justanartsygurl4867]

Hey would 80cm needles work

[@KerryDoesThings]

Yes! With that length, you can do magic loop knitting

[@bassoonmom8914]

Is this knitted in every row after the ribbing at the beginning?

[@KerryDoesThings]

Yes it is!

[@Su_Xi.]

Does anyone have the model written down? English is not my language so it's complicated to understand it orally...

[@irisinterrupted]

gonna make this and add white spots because mushroom

[@KerryDoesThings]

That is such a good idea!

[@EliaMitzell]

How can i adapt this to my 3.5mm needles :c

[@robyn8686]

What size yarn? I use 6 and mine is huge. 😭

[@KerryDoesThings]

I used medium weight yarn.

[@junemccormick81]

How much wool do you need for this beret please?

You could probably make those work.

do you have any written instructions by chance?

It's haaaaaaard

That’s because she’s not giving proper instructions.

I thought it was hard too until I followed Kerrys instructions and amazing I finished one😳. Yayah I'll be making more with different colour yarns. Love it 🥰. I'm sure you can do the same too. Just try following her instructions

size 7 us or mm?

I got the whole thing but apart from why there was 4 knitting needles at the end? Could you explain that for me please 🙏🏼 I’m trying this for the first time ❤

[@KerryDoesThings]

I find the double pointed needles easier to work with when knitting in the round with very few stitches. It’s a personal preference and you can absolutely use round needles instead.

[@susanhoward47]

Nice video but you dont mention purl rows.
