3d Beret
"Hi crocheters! I was always fascinated with 3D crochet patterns, but I didn't get the opportunity to integrate any of them into a design of mine. This time, I think it worked well with me, and I really like what came out of this experiment. To me this beret has a military feel to it, maybe because of the shape, or the color choice, though the larger size looks more like a crown, don't you think! I hope you won't be intimidated by the many triangles you make at first, because each is simple to make, joining them takes no time, and before you know it, et vois la! "
