Pattern begins here
Ch 4, sl st to form a ring.
1: Ch 3 (=DC), place 11 DC inside the ring (=12 DC total). Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
2: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place 2 DC inside next DC until eor (=24 DC total). Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
3: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place DC in next st, [2 DC in next st, 1 DC in next st] until eor (=36 DC total). Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
4: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 2 stitches] until oer (=48 DC total). Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
5: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 3 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
6: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 4 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
7: Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). [Place DC in next st, 1 DC in next 5 stitches] until oer. Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
8-13: Repeat this process, of adding 12 stitches per round. You can achieve this by always adding 1 DC on its own in every section of each round. A section of a round is the part between the 2 DCs in one stitch which are spaced all around the rounds evenly.
For example, round 8 will be as follows:
Ch 3 (=DC), place another DC inside the first stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). Place DC in next 6 st, [2 DC in next st, DC in next 6 st] until oer. Sl st to 1st ch 3 to close off round.
Round14 (to create beret shape)
Ch 1 (=TC), SC in 1st stitch, place your stitch marker in this stitch. [Sk 1 st, SC in next st] until eor; sl st to first SC to close off round.
15: Ch 1 (=does not count as a stitch), SC into same 1st stitch, place a SC into next stitch until eor; sl stitch to 1st SC to close off round.
16-24: Repeat row 15.
Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
