2 Hour Basic Beret

I saw a beret online with a a bow, and I attempted to make it, but it came out a little too puffy for my liking, so I made up my own pattern!!! OK so this is my first attempt at writing one of my patterns, usually I just kind of go with it, so this could be more of a guideline! Let me know if you try it and send a pic and I will post it!!!

Skill Level: Easy

Materials Needed:
-1 skein of medium yarn I used the red heart brand if you want bulky this pattern will need to be changed
-size H hook (5.00mm)
-yarn needle
-scissors
-some sort of yarn marker to keep track of your rows

Measurements
-The hat laid flat with the brim on the bottom should be around 10 inches diameter
-Brim diameter laid flat should be about 6 inches from end to end
* if any of these measurements are too small you can add more rows increasing or decrease less


Stitches used:
- Single Crochet (sc)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- Puff Stitch (ps)= YO insert hook into st, YO draw up loop YO insert hook YO draw up loop YO draw
through all stitches and then sc

6 ps in center

*You can decrease less if the opening is too small, be cautious of the size while you make it, I try mine on every so often to make sure it is the right fit.

Brim
sc in each st till marker
dc in each st till marker
* If you want a larger brim continue to  dc until desired length
