Get Garter Beret - PDF knitting pattern

Knitting a classic beret shape sideways involves short rows on both ends, creating volume above the brim as well as the swirl crown shaping. This example is worked on the bias for extra dynamism.

Available as a single pattern or as part of the Get Garter collection.

Get Garter is an entry-level guide to sideways Hat knitting.

Six different constructions are explained, supplemented with thorough explanations of the underlying structure and maths, empowering you to venture beyond the pattern and create your own unique Hats.
