Knit and Crochet Beret Pattern

It's been quite awhile since I've posted here on the blog, but I wanted to share a pattern that I've been working on. The knitting machine craze has been fun the past few years. It is very easy to make hats and scarves on the Addi King machine that I have. 

I thought it would be fun to combine a knitted brim with a crochet flair. I wrote up this easy pattern for a Knit and Crochet Beret. Worked in Lion Brand Respun yarn, this style is stretchy, versatile and fun.

Tips: It's a little hard to see here, but here's a picture of the waste yarns in dark gray and pink. You fold the knitted brim and crochet the loops together in between the waste yarns. I have accidentally picked up the loops on the wrong side and completely enclosed the waste yarn making it difficult to remove.

Try to keep your crochet loose when joining so you retain the stretchiness of the brim!
