Thanks for the info – I will be more careful when I do it the next time – and will let you know of my success!

Mary, it sounds like you picked up your stitches from the top of the crochet chain. Next time, lay the chain with the Vs on the table. There will be a horizontal row of bumps that look like purl stitches. These are the backs of the crochet chains. If you pick up your stitches here, you’ll be able to unzip the chain later and avoid needing scissors. Hope that helps!

Love the Grace Lace beret and am working on a sample practice piece — have had no luck with the waste yarn technique of casting on as I couldn’t pull it through the knit on stitches – so I snipped and snipped and finally got it all out (there must be an easier way!)– love the look on the edge. Both yarns I used are about the same weight -what went wrong??

Never mind, I figured out the problem (yif to slip then yib to knit!). Patterns seem to work much nicer when you’re doing them correctly

o hai!

thanks for the pattern and the support, you guys! I love the pattern, but i’m still kind of a beginner so this is pretty much the most complicated thing i’ve ever knitted. i have a question about the pattern…after the second round (s1wyif, k1), it looks like there are three loops where there used to be two. did i mess up? should i do the 3rd round pattern into all 45 loops and it’ll work out?

thanks!

Rosenda, the chart only shows one repeat. You repeat the pattern over the round. Start from the bottom right (1).

So the first row is K 1, YO, K4, SP 2 ST, K4, YO repeated over the round. You start round two after you complete the first round of 60 stitches.

The second round is a row of knit (as are all even rounds).

[...] stick to my one-at-a-time craft for now ta. I’m sure I’ll get around to knitting my Grace Lace Beret at some point, but for now it won’t even make it to UFO status because my mind is amigurumi [...]

Hi, I really like this hat! I’m planning to start it as soon as I finish my current project in a few days.
What would be the best type of yarn to use. Is it being done in worsted weight. Is fingering weight too thin?
Could I use Debbie Bliss yarn or Cascade?

You can never find berets like this!
I have no idea how to knit and ive always wanted to so i was wondering if anyone knew a good website that will teach you everything that you need to know, so that eventually, one day i may be able to make this beret?
