The original pattern is here: creativeyarn.blogspot.com and the instructions are a lot easier to follow. It requires bulky weight yarn, but I used weight 4 yarn and an "I" hook and if you increase the number of rows (just add another stitch to each of the 12 sections in each row that you need to add). I found that adding four or five extra rows of increasing creates the desired effect.
I also followed this pattern with a 9mm hook, and I am sad to say I was also very disappointed. It was very small and did not fit correctly at all.
I am not sure about row 7 and 8. It doesn't say which stitch to do the DC's in, can you please verify how this is to be done. Thanks so much.
I also used a 9mm hook and the hat wouldn't even fit my 7 year old!
row 3: no chain to skip
I love the Beret and i want to try to make,hope i won't have any problem with the instructions
The instructions are not clear. The result was nothing like the picture displayed. Extremely disapointed. Really wanted this hat.
I followed this pattern with a 9mm hook because i wanted a larger hat. Even with the 9mm hook it ended up to look like a baret! i wasn't very please.
