Materials Needed

• Main Yarn: Red antipilling yarn is recommended for longevity and resistance to pilling. Alternatives include acrylic, woolen, or cotton yarn.
• Pattern Colors: Black and white yarns are used to create the Spiderman design.
• Tools:
  • 4mm crochet hook (or size suitable for your chosen yarn).
  • Scissors for cutting yarn.
  • Tape measure to ensure accuracy.
  • Needle for stitching the beret’s final assembly.

Getting Started

• Begin the project by making a chain. The tutorial offers guidance on how to properly chain and create a foundation row.
• The beret’s base uses the half double crochet (HDC) technique. From the very first chain to subsequent rows, the tutorial emphasizes creating neat and consistent stitches.

Creating the Ribbed Effect

• The beret features a ribbed texture. This is achieved by crocheting into the middle part of the stitches in subsequent rows.
• Continue this ribbed pattern over 14 rows (adjustable depending on the desired size or who the beret is for—men or women).

Adding the Spiderman Pattern

• The Spiderman-inspired design is created using a grid-like pattern of black and white yarn over the red base.
• Color Changes:
  • Specific sections of the pattern require switching between red, black, and white yarns.
  • Techniques for seamless color changes are explained in detail to avoid visible threads on the reverse side.
  • Mini yarn balls are suggested for easier handling during color transitions.
• After completing one “eye” of the Spiderman design, move on to the next section, referencing the grid pattern provided in the video.

Final Adjustments and Sizing

• Once the pattern is complete, ensure the piece reaches the appropriate size—48cm in length for women, with extra rows suggested for men.
• The beret’s ribbed texture allows for some flexibility in fit, ensuring comfort.

Assembling the Beret

• Seaming:
  • Fold the piece in half and use a slip stitch or needle sewing method to join the edges.
• Closing the Top:
  • Using a needle and thread, close the top of the beret with simple stitching techniques, pulling the yarn to gather and secure the top.
  • Any remaining gaps are closed with cross-stitches, and the excess thread is secured and trimmed.

Final Touches

• Turn the beret right-side out. Optional: fold the bottom edge of the beret for a more polished look.
• The tutorial concludes by showcasing the finished beret, highlighting its versatile design and creative appeal.
