The drawings of the beret are designed for my size 58 - this is a measure of the circumference of the head. We lengthen or shorten the length of the chestnut according to your size if necessary.
Pattern
In order for our product to keep its shape and look beautiful, we sew the beret with a lining, and if the main fabric is thin, we glue it with interlining. We cut the lining according to the shape of the pattern of the main material. We grind the details of the top and lining (the bottom and both parts of the side of the product) separately. We waste the seam of the top (the seam needs to be ironed once and add 2 finishing lines running parallel near the seam from the face of the beret, about 2 - 5 mm wide). To the finished main part of the product, we sew a strip of fabric (kashpen) folded in half and stitched into a circle. So that the chestnut does not stretch and deform, we also duplicate it with non-woven fabric. We insert the lining fabric, baste it and then, bending it, we hem it to the chestnut seam. We make out the finishing line. You can decorate from the sides or the upper part with materials such as beads, rhinestones, feathers, bows, as they say, at your discretion. Or take finished pattern the top of the beret according to the link - Beret decoration scheme After that, you need to print it, carefully transfer it to the fabric, cut it out.

You don't need to iron the seam allowances, but straighten them with scissor rings or another handy tool instead. If the villi stick out of the seams, pull them out with a needle, and connect the fur part with the lining with hidden stitches. These are the main points regarding the fur beret.

To sew a beret, you should choose a dense fabric that holds its shape well: thin drape, dense wool. If the fabric is soft, you can glue it with vistamit or a thin doubler on a fabric basis. For lining, you can choose a regular lining fabric, or you can choose cotton suitable color. A beret with such a lining will not slip on the head when moving.
Cutting out details.
Before cutting out the wedges, we glue the fabric with a cushioning adhesive material. We cut out 8 wedges along the shared thread, all in one direction, without turning them across or upside down, since most often drape, wool and all pile fabrics change their shade when changing direction. We add a seam allowance of 1 cm. To sew the beret neatly, we sweep the contour of the part with contrasting threads to accurately mark the seam line. We cut out a bezel 5 cm wide, 58.5 + 2.5 cm long per seam; We cut out 8 wedges from the fabric for the lining.

How to sew a beret for a girl
For sewing a headdress, we need:
pink faux fur
pink multirip (knitwear),
decorative grosgrain ribbon,
button.
You will also need a sheet of A4 paper and some knowledge of the school geometry course.
First, we measure the circumference of the child's head. Let's say it was 48 cm. To calculate the radius of a circle, you need to divide the circle by 2 pi (pi \u003d 3.14). We consider - 48 / (2 * 3.14) \u003d 7.64 Now multiply the radius by two - we get a diameter of about 15 cm.
What are these calculations for? To build the correct circle, which we cut out, take it under the child's head. On paper, draw a circle with a diameter of 15 cm. Artificial fur fold the face to the face, pin the circle and trace with a pencil. Now we set aside 5.5 cm from the edges of the circle (this will be the upper part of the beret).
Cut along the marked border. We get two large circle. Now you need to cut a small circle in one of them.
We fold both of our circles face to face and pin them around the circumference.
Sew off the edge with a large zigzag.
Now you need to make the cuffs for the beret. Depending on the extensibility of the fabric, we cut out a piece, about 2/3 of the circumference long (we have 48 cm). Detail width - 15 cm.
We connect the part into a ring, stitching the side seam with a zigzag. We outline allowances at the bottom and at the top of the part.
We take the detail to the beret.
We bend the cuffs and tack again.
We sew the cuffs with a double needle (or any other elastic seam).

But what if the berets you like don't fit, and the sizes you want don't look the way you want them to? Let's sew a beret with our own hands, using different materials and patterns!
How to sew a beret with your own hands
The fundamental principle in tailoring a beret is to take measurements correctly and take into account the characteristics of the material taken as a basis. To correctly design a pattern, it is not necessary to use patterns, it is enough to remember the school formula for determining the radius of a circle:
R=bare/2π. Explanation for the formula:
- R is the radius;
- bare - head circumference;
- π is a value equal to 3.14.
Sewing a beret can be done according to the general step-by-step instructions:
- Take your measure. To do this, measure the circumference of the head by passing a centimeter through the frontal tubercles and the protrusion on the occipital bone.
- According to the measure, open the chestnut - a dimensional strip 5-6 cm wide, which determines the size of the beret. Your comfort when using the finished product depends on how accurately this measurement is taken and the chestnut is tailored.
- Take a standard circle for the base of the beret - 30 cm in diameter. Depending on the pattern, leave it whole or cut into segments.
- Open up the shelf. The splendor of the beret depends on its height.
- When constructing a pattern, be sure to consider seam allowances. For dense fabrics, take 8-10 mm, for loose fabrics - 10-15 mm. If the fabric is too loose, it makes sense to use.
- Sew the elements of the base, if it consists of segments.
- Sew a shelf to the base.
- Cut the bottom of the shelf every 10-15 mm, not reaching 3 mm to the seam with the base - this is important for rounding the beret.
- Finish the edges of the chestnut, connect it into a ring, fold it in half and sew it to the hole for the head.
- Turn the beret inside out. Smooth the seams with the edge of scissors or lightly moisten the beret with steam and hang it on a mannequin or jar.
- If necessary, you can sew the lining according to the same principle, securing it inside the beret with invisible stitches.
- Decorate your beret however you like and wear it to your heart's content!
Did you know? Having removed the bar once, write down its performance on a piece of paper and do not lose it. A measurement will come in handy if you want, for example, to “sew a hat” - it is universal for all hats.
Important! If you want, takes as a "first attempt at writing" - not the best good idea. In this case, it is better to try including a mini-take in the ensemble. And train your hand, and do not spoil the material for the actual beret.
There are many beret patterns. You can use any, but different patterns require different materials for sewing. We have selected the optimal combination of shape and texture.
Beret from drape
This beret is quite dense, it can be sewn without lining, which greatly facilitates the work. A beginner seamstress can also sew a beret from a drape with his own hands, using the following pattern:
Drap is an unpretentious fabric, its edges are not frayed, which simplifies tailoring. For such material, it is enough to provide 0.8 cm of allowances in the pattern. For tailoring, the exact measurement of the head is used - the material does not stretch. Drape berets are made from a single base, without dividing it into segments, which also simplifies tailoring.
Felt beret
Felt is a thin felt, an ideal material for creating textured hats. The felt beret turns out to be warm, but breathable, which is important in the demi-season.
Sewing takes from felt is recommended according to the following pattern:
The double bottom of such a product eliminates the need for a lining, which facilitates the sewing process. Good felt almost does not crumble, but we recommend calculating allowances of 1 cm.
The bottom can be taken in one piece, but the felt beret looks much better if it is sewn from 4 segments. It is convenient to decorate felt berets with flowers made from the remnants of the material, you can add beads or beads.
fur beret
To sew a fur beret with your own hands, use a pattern without a shelf. Use the standard cutting of the cache-peen, and for the base, cut out the following petals:
The more segments you make, the narrower these petals will turn out. To understand how it looks, look at the drawing of an 8-segment beret:
Please note that the pile on the fur beret should be located in one direction, and such a headdress definitely needs a lining sewn with invisible stitches to the fur base.
Fabric beret
Such a beret can be “sewn from old things” made from knitwear (sweatshirts or sweaters). To do this, you need very little - to be able to "sew knitted details". You can also make a trendy beret simply using the technique - patchwork from jeans.
Fabric berets lie beautifully on the head, especially if, when making a pattern, slightly shift the center of the inner circle slightly away from the center of the base. Use a pattern of 5 beret wedges and one warp:
Kashpen cut out according to generally accepted principles, 15-20 mm knitwear stretches. Do not forget to sew the lining, clearly according to the standards, otherwise the beret will come out cold.
