Thick and Quick Slouchy Beret Pattern

Here's a free beret pattern. The pattern took longer to write than the time it took to knit the beret, in just a few short hours back in February. I just HAD to have a purple hat for brisk mornings! I love quick projects, especially when they're fashionable, functional, use only one ball of yarn, and can be a great gift.

As for the rest of my life, all is well with school, work, and family. My daughter is sprouting like a beanstalk - she's just two inches shy of my height! I'm trying to enjoy a little summer break with some swimming and knitting (not at the same time) but I have to refresh myself in Chemistry I & II before I get into both Organic and Analytial this Fall. I made straight A's again, so now I have two Chancellor's List certificates to frame upon my wall, and want to continue the trend.

  2. Have you converted this pattern for loom knitting or would you consider converting it to a loom pattern?

  3. I have not converted it, yet, since I don't have an adjustable loom. I do have the little Knifty Knitter clips, but have yet to try them.

  11. This pattern was done on knitting needles. To convert it to a loom, you'd have to have an adjustable width loom, or the Knifty Knitter clips for the oval looms to adjust the number of pegs around, because you have to increase and decrease the number of stitches on this hat pattern.
