From the description: Crochet lends itself to motifs of every kind. Here, a hexagon has been extended to make a stylish beret. This hexagon could be used as the basis of any hat - simply continue straight once the increases fit the crown of the head and you will have a pull-on style.

Materials:

  • 130-260 yds DK weight yarn in natural;
  • small amounts DK weight yarn in charcoal, camel, and pale blue.
