3-D Leaf Beret

 This beret has 3-D leaf on it but because I used 3 colour yarn, it is not so obvious. If you use just one colour yarn, it would look obvious. It is very easy to do and it is all about back post and front post. 




The tutorial video.




I used cotton yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. Start by making a magic ring. Chain 3 (this will count as a double crochet (dc)) and do a double crochet (dc). Then chain 1 and make a 2nd dc inside the ring. This 2 dc and chain 1 is one set. I made 6 sets all together. One set for one leaf. If you decided to make only 5 leaf, then do 5 sets. End with a slip stitch to the next stitch.

Row 2 - Do one more slip stitch so that we start on the chain 1 space. Chain 3 (count as a dc) and chain 1 (for space), do a dc. Do a back post on the following 2 dc chain. So there is an increase on the leave part (we are building the leaf on the chain 1 space) but the back post part, no increase. End with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3.

Row 3 - Do a front post on the following 2 dc, at the chain 1 space do a dc, chain 1, dc again. Then do front post on the remaining 2 dc. When reach the back post dc, do back post on the following 2 back post dc. 

This is how I increase the leaf. Continue in this manner until you get to your desire length. 

Now to reduce the leaf part and increase the back post part. Do a 2 together front post, then front post all the way until the last 2 front post, we do a 2 together front post. Do a dc between the front post and the back post part. Then back post, back post and a dc. Repeat this all around. Repeat in the same manner by reducing the leaf part and increasing the back post part until there is no more leaf. 

Once we have no more leaf (front post) anymore, we chain 1 and do a back post all around for 5 rows.

Then we chain 3, do a front post 2 together then a back post. Repeat all around. 

Then we do a back post follow by a front post. Repeat all around.

The following row, we chain 1, do a single crochet (sc) then a sc 2 together. Repeat all around.

The last row, do a chain 1 and a reverse sc all around.
