This Parisienne Crochet Beret was such a lovely, meditative make — simple, classic, and just a little bit whimsical. I used a thrifted skein of Happy Value yarn in Eggplant, which is a soft, pinkish purple with a cozy, wearable feel. It’s one of those colors that looks sweet and vintage without being too bold, and it worked beautifully for this pattern.

I followed the Parisienne Crochet Beret pattern by Sewrella and made one small adjustment for fit: instead of repeating Round 3 eight times, I repeated it six times to make the beret slightly smaller. I have a petite head, and this tweak kept the shape flattering while still giving me that relaxed, slouchy silhouette the pattern is known for.

To finish it off, I added the little cross‑stitched heart from the original pattern using scrap white yarn. It’s a tiny detail, but it pops beautifully against the pinkish purple and gives the beret a soft, personal touch.

About the Parisienne Crochet Beret Pattern

The Parisienne Crochet Beret is designed by Ashleigh Kiser of Sewrella, and it’s one of those patterns that looks beautifully classic while still being incredibly beginner‑friendly. The construction is simple: you start with a stretchy ribbed band, work into the edges to build the body of the beret, and then shape the crown with gentle decreases. It’s all worked in half‑double crochet, which gives the fabric a soft, smooth texture.

The pattern is written for Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca with a 6 mm (J) hook, but it adapts easily to other medium‑weight yarns. I used a thrifted skein of Happy Value yarn in Eggplant, a soft pinkish purple that gives the beret a sweet, wearable look. Even with the yarn swap, the stitch definition and drape worked out beautifully.

I made one small adjustment for fit: in the body section, where the pattern has you repeat Round 3 eight times, I repeated it six times instead. I have a petite head, and this kept the beret from becoming too oversized while still keeping that relaxed, slouchy silhouette.

To finish it off, I added the little cross‑stitched heart included in the original pattern using scrap white yarn. It’s such a simple detail, but it adds a soft, personal touch that stands out beautifully against the pinkish purple.

Styling Notes & Yarn Thoughts

This beret has such an easy, wearable charm to it, especially in the pinkish‑purple Eggplant shade of the Happy Value yarn I thrifted. The color gives it a soft, vintage feel — playful without being loud — and it pairs beautifully with neutrals, denim, and anything with a little texture.

The yarn itself worked surprisingly well for this pattern. Even though it’s not the alpaca blend the pattern recommends, the medium‑weight acrylic gave the beret a bit more structure while still keeping that relaxed, slouchy shape. It holds the cross‑stitched heart perfectly too — the white really pops against the pinkish purple in a way that feels sweet but not overly cutesy.

Because I made the beret slightly smaller by repeating Round 3 six times instead of eight

🌿 Final Thoughts

This little Parisienne Crochet Beret was such a joy to make — simple, stylish, and full of that sweet, vintage charm that makes handmade accessories feel extra special. The pinkish‑purple Happy Value yarn gave it a soft, wearable look, and the slight size adjustment kept the fit just right for my smaller head. Adding the tiny cross‑stitched heart was the perfect finishing touch, a small detail that makes the whole piece feel personal and one‑of‑a‑kind.
