Needlecrafts - Knit,Crochet - Berets Heading For Fall

Odd balls of yarn leftover from projects always piles up in bags in my "room" where the yarn stash is. The stash area is really part of the laundry room with a cabinet and rows of clear boxes on one side organizing my yarn. As I work on projects, the leftovers are put in bags. Of course the yarn goes somewhere into the ether, because I never look at it again until it becomes a monster of a pile. That's when I go on a purging binge and these bags get passed down to my sister-in-law. Her husband has now warned me not to give her anymore yarn as it is mounting up and cluttering a spare bedroom. This post on berets is perfect for this type of dilemma. The hat doesn't call for much yarn and you can easily make the top one color and the band another. So this is me turning over a new leaf, hopefully. I am truly envious of knitters and crocheters who are able to use up every scrap of yarn they have. Do these people really exist or do they give away yarn as well. Well this post has 12 knit patterns and 12 crochet patterns ranging from classic shapes to the fashionable slouchy beret. There is plenty of opportunity to dive into that pile and make a few hats for yourself and everybody in your family.

Talk about standing a head above everybody. These beanies or toques are definitely sky high. What is most interesting are the many shapes you can make with the crown. Pussycat ears are definitely whimsical and fun. Embellish them further with pom poms. The children's version, in some cases, are called gnome hats as they resemble the pointed hats on those magical, humenoid creatures. Whatever you name them, these designs can be very flattering for those who need to wear hats that have some height. An extremely popular past post - Making Headways featured looser, flatter beanies. Look for free patterns there as well. Read further and be inspired by the different styles of knit and crochet hats, free patterns to knit and crochet as well as versions for the small fry. See helpful tutorials and videos on how to duplicate stitch a design onto a plain hat. The sky is the limit with these high hats.
