Check out this crochet beret-style hat from Las Maravillas del Crochet – it’s a great project if you love deep texture. You’ll start by crocheting a stretchy, ribbed rectangle for the brim, then join the ends to form a comfortable headband. From there, you switch to the popcorn stitch to build the body of the hat. This specific stitch creates a thick, bumpy surface that gives the beret its signature volume and warmth.
The pattern uses worsted weight yarn and two different hook sizes to get the right fit. You’ll use a 4mm hook for the brim to keep it snug, then move up to a 5mm hook for the body to let the popcorn stitches bloom. It’s a fun, rhythmic process that results in a stylish accessory with a lot of visual interest. It’s a perfect choice for anyone looking to master more advanced textured stitches while making something practical.
