Oct 13, 2008 - I have a tutorial posted for a crochet cable. You can take that pattern and use it on a crochet beret if you would like. Most tutorial's and pattern stitches are interchangeable between projects.

Oct 13, 2008 - Hi tjw1963,I followed your instructions, but my beret never started curling up at round 14. I am not sure what I may have done wrong. Could it have been the sport weight cotton yarn? I used an (I) hook though. At one point it became wavy around (RND 10). I am thinking of taking it out and starting over again. may be I missed something.
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - It sounds like you may not have decreased stitches. It would not be necessary for your to start over. Just pull out round 14 and get do your decreases.

Oct 13, 2008 - Hello thanks for your help, My beret does not close like yours, in the round 18 I did 25 HDC but when I finished did not went to the starting point like the others but I continuing the project, I going to try again but with the hook you are using. I already make the winter hat the one you sent me at my e-mail and I did it really nice thank you. Let me know if your think I doing something wrong in the round 18.
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - Round 18: is 25 Half-Double Crochet Decrease. Round 19: is 50 Half Double Crochet. It sounds like it might be something in that area but I am not sure without seeing it.
pinocha34 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - You are an angel thank you some much, I made it and look great, the problem with round 18 was I counted the wrong way.You don't have any idea how much I enjoy watching your video, It helped me a lot. Great job with the instructions you do it really easy to understand. Thanks

tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - I used a size G hook in the tutorial.

Oct 13, 2008 - Hii! I have a question, how do you hid the extra string left over? Thanks for making these vids, the instructions are easy to follow. =]
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - The most recent tutorial for sewing on an earflap shows how to sew in a tail.
Nioxin4 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - is there anyway to make the band smaller just the band part and everything else the same?
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - You can do more decreases or crochet a separate band and sew the band on separate.
Nioxin4 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - how? by adding another row of decreases or can u actually pick another stitch in the decrease?
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - To make the cap smaller, you would need to do additional decreases. It would be similar to the decrease row, only you are doing another decrease row to make the opening smaller.
Nioxin4 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - thanks for ur help :)!
tjw1963 Says:
Oct 13, 2008 - 1. You might naturally crochet tight. Solution: Use a larger hook.2. Your hook might be to small.Solution: Use a size I crochet hook or larger if that is what you were using.3. Your yarn might be to small.Solution: Use 4-ply worsted weight yarn.4. You decreased to much on the final decrease round.Solution: Rip the yarn back to the decrease round and don't decrease as much.I used a size I crochet hook with 4 ply worsted weight yarn.
