Free Knitting Pattern – Beret

February 11, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

The Beret in Hayfield Bonus Aran is a beautiful and romantic headpiece, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit. This advanced knitting pattern features a delicate eyelet pattern that creates a pretty lace effect above the rib. The combination of simple stocking stitch and the lace effect creates a stunning contrast that will make this beret stand out.

This pattern requires the use of both 5mm (UK6 – USA8) and 4mm (UK8 – USA6) circular needles, as well as a set of 5mm (UK6 – USA8) double pointed needles for crown shaping. The circular needles can be 40cm in length, or longer if you prefer to use the magic loop method.

The beret is knitted using Hayfield Bonus Aran yarn, which is a versatile and soft yarn that is perfect for creating warm and cozy projects. This pattern is part of Sirdar’s Aran Romance collection, which features a variety of romantic and elegant patterns that are perfect for the winter season.

Design No: 10633 and it’s available for download via the Sirdar website, so you can start knitting your very own Beret in Hayfield Bonus Aran today! So, it’s time to put on your knitting needles and start creating this beautiful and romantic beret!

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
