I fell in love when I discovered this lovely beret. It is easy to knit in seed st, and will hold it's shape. What is special is the flower pattern created by the decrease stiches.

This video is a two part visual guide that compliments a Beret knitting pattern by The Casting On Couch. It explains row by row the decrease details forming this leaf motif at the crown.

Work this beret in the round using seed st (or moss st) over four rows. It uses 31/2 and 4mm circular needles and progresses to double pointed ones towards the final few rows where stitches become greatly reduced.

Here's Part 2
