Crochet Beret

What do Che Guevara, Rembrandt, and Lauren Bacall have in common? The flat wool disc of a hat that is a beret! Over the centuries, the beret has found its way onto the heads of peasants, artists, actresses, revolutionaries, and military personnel. Today, wearing a beret can be chic and fashionable and worn by both women or men.

My Crochet Beret has been morphed into a Slouchy Newsboy Hat by the simple addition of a visor. The Slouchy Newsboy Hat can be worn so that the visor is centred on the face.

To wear the Crochet Beret, place the rim so that it sits 3/4 of the way up your forehead. The back should approach the back of your neck comfortably. Position the beret so that it comes over one ear and tilts to that side. Experiment and adjust the beret for balance and a flattering look.
