Making Your French Beret Hat

Step 1: Starting the Hat

1. Start with a slipknot.
2. Make 5 chains and join with the first chain using a slip stitch, forming a loop.
3. Chain 1 (this doesn’t count as a stitch)
4. Complete 10 puff stitches inside the created loop, joined with a chain.

Step 2: Increasing the Rows

1. Create 2 puff stitches each into all the chain-1 spaces from the previous row.
2. Repeat this step until you have 20 puff stitches in total.
3. For every next row, you will double the number of puff stitches in every chain-2 space and make a double crochet stitch between them.

Step 3: Making the Back Post Double Crochets

1. Start every row with 2 puff stitches, then increase the number of back post double crochets in each row.
2. Keep increasing until you reach around 20-23 centimeters in length.

Step 4: Maintaining the Rows

1. Start every row with 2 puff stitches.
2. Create back post double crochets around each double crochet from the previous row.
3. Repeat this for 4-5 rows.

Step 5: Decreasing the Rows

1. Start decreasing the number of back post double crochets in each row.
2. Continue decreasing for several rows until you reach your desired hat size.

Step 6: Closing the Hat

1. Start to close the hat by skipping the chain spaces and making 2 puff stitches into the following chain space.
2. Repeat this row until the hat is fully closed.

Step 7: Finishing the Hatf

1. Create 2 single crochets in each one chain space.
2. Repeat this row until you have covered all the chain spaces in the hat.
3. Hide the remaining tail with the help of a hook and scissors.
