About This Cinnamon Beret Pattern

This pattern creates a classic beret worked from the center outwards using single crochet in continuous rounds. It uses Aran-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook to achieve a structured yet soft shape. The design is quick and straightforward, making it suitable for a relaxed weekend project. Perfect for customizing with colors or small embellishments.

Why You'll Love This Cinnamon Beret Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it makes a timeless beret with minimal effort and maximum style. I enjoy how the piece grows from the center outwards into a perfectly shaped crown — it feels rewarding stitch by stitch. The simple construction and single-crochet texture mean I can chat or watch TV while working and still get great results. I also love that it adapts easily to different yarns and sizes, so I can make a matching set or try bold colors.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this beret by changing colors for stripes or a two-tone crown, which gives each version a fresh personality.

I often try different yarn weights and adjust hook size; using thicker yarn makes a chunkier, warmer beret while thinner yarn produces a delicate version.

I sometimes add a small crocheted flower or an embroidered motif to the side for a feminine touch and extra detail.

I recommend blocking differently to alter the flare of the brim — a wider block creates a more dramatic beret, while a tighter block gives a snug look.

I also experiment with adding a soft ribbon or grosgrain band inside the brim to make the beret sit more securely on the head.

I enjoy making mini versions as keychains by using finer yarn and a smaller hook for a charming miniature keepsake.

I occasionally substitute the single crochet rounds with half double crochet for a denser texture, but always check gauge when changing stitches.

I like to try subtle color shifts like ombre or heathered yarn to create depth without changing the basic pattern stitches.

I sometimes line the beret with a lightweight fabric for extra warmth and a tidy inside finish — it also helps the beret hold its shape longer.

I recommend trying a contrast edging in a different color for a modern finish that frames the beret beautifully.

I often give these as gifts and play with decorative options like buttons, tassels, or a tiny pom-pom to match the recipient's style.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the magic loop setup can make the center hole visible; use a tight magic loop and pull it closed securely to hide the center. ✗ Forgetting to insert or move a marker leads to missed increases; place a stitch marker after Round 1 and move it each round to mark the start. ✗ Working with inconsistent tension creates a lumpy or uneven crown; maintain even tension throughout and check gauge before starting. ✗ Not closing rounds properly can distort the spiral and join points; close each round with sl st as instructed and place the marker carefully. ✗ Neglecting to block or wash the finished beret results in a less polished shape; wash and block the beret to relax stitches and shape it correctly.
