Margaux Striped Beret by Two of Wands
βGet it free from Knit Picksβ
Worsted weight | 2 colors | Easy
Simple stripes can have a big impact when done well. This beret radiates Parisian vibes. Just grab a baguette, brie, and glass of Bordeaux and you're ready to go.

Bloom Beret by Faye Kennington
βGet it from Knit Picksβ
Sport weight | 2 sizes | Written and charted
This pattern plays with mock cables in an interesting way. The geometric lines converge into a lovely flower motif. While it looks complicated, it's basically all knits and purls!

Rembrandt Beret by Fabel Knitwear
βGet it from Etsyβ
One size | 50 g of merino | English and Norwegian
Based on a 1940s velvet beret, it puffs out just enough for a vintage look. It's named for Rembrandt, who often painted himself wearing one.

Highlands Beret by Pattern Hut

Fingering weight | 400 yards | Intermediate
Chain link cables circle the brim, and the crown is built from cabled entrelac squares. It's seamless, so there's no sewing at the end.

Bermondsey Beret by Jennie Atkinson

Fingering weight | 2 sizes | 2 colors
There's something about fair isle and the tam shape that is just magical. This one sticks to two colors, with a pop of orange hiding inside the brim.

Puffed Rib Stitch
This stretchy rib has little puffed-up columns of texture, and the pattern is only four rows. It would make a cozy brim on any of today's berets.
