Seed Stitch Beret

I finally made a seed stitch slouch, which is something I'd been wanting to do for a while.

This is Alanna, another dormie :)

It was really simple, except for the decrease. Maintaining the pattern while decreasing proved harder than expected, but I did some research and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Pattern:

Cast on 52 stitches on 5.5 mm double sided or circular needles

Row 1: K, P rep til end

Work row 1 4 more times or until the rim is as long as you like

Row 6: K1, M1 rep til end (78 stitches)Row 7: K1, M1 rep til last two stitches, K, K (117 stitches)

Row 10: K, P rep til end

Row 11: P, K rep til end

Work these two rows for 17 cm or however long as you like

End on a P, K rowDecrease row 1: K, P, K, P, K, P, K, P, K, P2tog, K2tog rep til end of row

Decrease row 2: P, K, P, K, P, K, P, K2tog, P2tog rep til end of row

Continue decreasing like this until there are 9 stitches remaining

Cut yarn, leaving a long tail

Thread yarn through remaining stitches, pull tight

Weave ends in

Yarn:
