Iron the seam towards the walls, stitch to the edge or iron. Treat the lining in the same way. Fold the parts from the main and lining fabrics with the wrong sides inward, aligning the lower sections. Stitch the narrow sides of the band (it will take the form of a ring), iron the seam. Sew the band to the bottom edge of the beret, folding it with the front side with the lining. Unscrew the band on the front side of the beret and stitch on the wall, closing the stitching seam. If the band is made of leather, make its inner side from the main fabric (cut the part in the shape of a band made of leather and stitch it along the longitudinal side, folding the right sides inward). Steam the beret carefully and attach the trim pieces.
Black velvet beret with a bow, fastened with a brooch. It is recommended to sew such a beret from soft pile fabrics that drape well - velvet, loose drape. Bow - from a rep ribbon in a contrasting color. The leather band also performs a decorative function. Lining is best done with a thin lining or veil type fabric.

Berets is still in fashion, especially if you don’t see one like your beret on anyone else. This is possible if she takes it herself.
How to sew a beret? It's not hard and fast. Even if your sewing experience is limited only to school labor lessons, the final result depends only on your desire and diligence. 
Choose the material you like for the beret. It can be drape, velvet, fleece, fur. I propose a pattern for soft material beret on a head with a diameter of 56 cm. For a better view of the beret, we sew it with a lining. With a band, you can dream up, make it out of leather or fur.
So, detailed instructions on how to sew a beret. (Do not forget to iron the seams after each sewing operation.)
- We transfer the pattern to the fabric, adding allowances for the seams of about 1 cm.
- I cut the fabric.
- We begin to grind from the detail of the crown, and remember about the seams.
- We sew the bottom of the beret to the crown, and the seams ...
- All 4 points are repeated for the lining.
- We fold the front and lining parts of the beret inside out and carefully sew.
- It remains for us to cunningly sew a band. Be careful! It is better to measure seven times, and then sew first to the bottom of the crown, turning the lining of the beret with the front side. Then turn the band face outward, to the crown - inside out, and sew along the upper edge with a beautiful line.
Salt, that is, decorate takes to taste!
Women have always paid great attention to headdresses. And still, there is a strong tendency to make them with your own hands. This is easily explained, because a thing made independently and with soul will be not only unique, but also worn with great pleasure. In this article, we will look at how to sew a beret - a very popular classic headdress. Berets can be very different: voluminous and compact, feminine and strict, from a variety of materials, so each person can easily choose the right model for themselves.
We make a pattern
Many knit hats, but it is much easier to sew. The beret pattern usually consists of a bottom, a side (crown) and a chestnut (band).
This drawing is suitable for size 58 around the circumference of the head. If you need a different size, then in the drawing you should change the length of the band.
Transfer the cut pieces to the fabric of your choice and cut them out, leaving a 1 cm seam allowance on each side. Cut out the bottom and crown of the lining fabric with 1 cm allowances. The fabric for the beret should be thick enough to keep its shape well. If you plan to sew from thin fabric, then it must first be glued with interlining.
Sewing order
Consider how to sew a beret with your own hands according to this pattern:
- Sew the bottom and sides from the main fabric. Do the same for the lining pieces.
- Iron the seams on the main fabric and sew on both sides with decorative stitches at a distance of 2-5 mm.
- Glue the band with interlining to avoid its deformation during wear, fold it in half lengthwise and stitch its short sides so that a circle forms.
- Sew the band to the finished top of the beret, attaching it with the right side to the wrong side of the top. Turn the band to the right side and stitch it so as to close the stitching seam.
- Insert the lining into the beret with the wrong side to the wrong side of the main fabric, baste, and then hem it along the inner edge of the band.
- Decorate the band or crown of the finished beret with a bow, rhinestones or other trim.
Men's berets
The beret is also part of the military uniform. A special chic for beginners in the service is the independent tailoring of a headdress, therefore we will consider how to sew a paratrooper's beret. You will need:
- Cloth (width 150 cm) - 30 cm
- Lining fabric (90 cm wide) - 30 cm
A beret for a paratrooper can be sewn according to the following pattern:
Cut out 1 piece of the bottom (number 1 in the diagram), 2 pieces each of the crown (number 2) and band (number 3). The technology for sewing such a beret is similar to that discussed above. The band is recommended to be made of artificial leather.
Wedge beret
Also, berets sewn from 8 identical wedges, cut according to this pattern, look very good:
- Details should be cut strictly along the shared thread in one direction. When cutting, do not forget to leave allowances for the seams.
- Sweep the details along the contour with a contrasting thread. This will allow your product to look much neater, and the seams to be more even.
- In addition to the 8 wedges, cut out the rim 58.5 long (with an allowance of 2.5 cm for the seam) and 5 cm wide.
- Cut out the wedges from the lining fabric.
Let's find out how to sew berets from wedges:
- Sew all the wedges in pairs, and then the resulting parts, ironing all the seams.
- Sew the rim along the narrow sides so that it forms a circle, iron the seam.
- Fold the headband in half lengthwise, baste and iron.
- Baste the bezel to the beret, placing the beret 1.5 cm.
- Stitch the bezel and beret. It will be more convenient if, when sewing, the beret is at the bottom, and the rim is at the top.
- Sew the wedges from the lining fabric in the same way.
- After turning the beret, manually sew the lining to it.
fur beret
Many women would like to have a particularly warm beret that matches a fur coat, so let's look at how to sew a fur beret. You can choose any beret pattern, but when cutting it is important to take into account the direction of the pile on the details of the cut - it should be directed in one direction. Another important feature when working with fur is that you do not need to iron the seam allowances. Instead, you can straighten them with scissor rings. If there are lint stuck in the stitches, gently pry them out with a needle. The lining to the fur beret is attached manually with a hidden seam.
So, after reading this article, you can make your own beret for every taste. Sewing a beret is quite inexpensive, it is simple and fast. You also learned how to sew a military beret, so you can please your cadet son or conscript with a beret made with love.

How to sew a beret with your own hands Beret pattern Headwear in a women's wardrobe Video lesson
How to sew a beret with your own hands Beret pattern Headwear in a women's wardrobe Video lesson. At the very beginning of our creative journey and the creation of our channel, we had a video * in which I was wearing a white beret. It was a summer version of a cotton beret and in the comments to that video there were requests from you to show the pattern and tell how to sew such a beret. For various reasons, we did not succeed in immediately answering your request and questions and making a video on the beret, and then we forgot about this request and question. However, you, our dear viewers and channel subscribers, raised this issue again and again, and now, finally, we decided to show you this topic.
Now we will give you a diagram of how to build a beret pattern, show you how to assemble this pattern, tell you how to properly cut and sew a lining for it. To begin with, now we will show you how to build a pattern for one wedge, since our beret will consist of eight similar wedges. I developed the pattern of this beret myself, since I really wanted to sew a beret, but I didn’t like all the ready-made patterns that I had at that time. Therefore, I had to develop my own pattern.
In the photo you see one wedge, which we already have with seam allowances. Graph paper shows one wedge also with seam allowances. In these photos you can see that we need 22.5 cm in height and 13 cm in width. In the drawing, the wedge is divided into two equal and symmetrical parts in the center and it is indicated that this is not just the center of the wedge, but also a fold. For convenience, on the one hand, the values \u200b\u200bare indicated in centimeters, according to which you can easily and quickly draw the line of the edge of the wedge yourself. You also set aside these values on both sides of the center line, and then connect them with a smooth line along the points obtained, this will not be difficult for anyone.
Each value from bottom to top corresponds to 1 cm, and in width it corresponds to the specified one, starting from 4.6 cm, it expands to 5.6 cm, and then smoothly descends to 1.5 and ends with 0.9 cm. According to this scheme you can easily build a pattern of one wedge.
what does the pattern of one wedge for an eight-wedge beret look like
After the wedge is ready, we proceed to cutting 8 absolutely identical wedges, since each wedge is already with a seam allowance, then you simply cut out the required number, in our case there are only 8 wedges. If your size is slightly larger than the size of our beret (57 p), and for 58 p you can leave a seam allowance not 1.0 cm, but 0.7 cm and the beret will also fit you.
cut out 4 pairs of wedges and sweep them in pairs
I will keep this pattern, since in summer various cotton berets on a cambric lining are absolutely necessary, which will protect you in the heat. When starting to sweep the wedges, we must remember that we are sweeping from the crown, but not from its tip, but 1.0 cm short of it. All 4 pairs of wedges must be swept along one side with a seam allowance of 1.0 cm. when connecting all the other wedges, it coincided with each other.
sweep them in pairs
When you work on creating your beret, in compliance with all technological processes and their sequence, then, of course, the result of the work will look prettier and neater. Along the bottom line by 1.5 cm, I just notice the edge so that our beret looks like a thing.
Before us are all 8 swept wedges
When you prepare the lining for the beret, then along the bottom line your pattern will be 2.5 cm shorter, for this you will not have to build a new paper pattern, since you just need to bend the edge along the bottom line by 2.5 cm.
After we swept the beret and turned it inside out, the bottom of our beret is absolutely flat and there is no pointed protrusion.
the bottom of the beret does not have a pointed protrusion
pattern of a summer beret from natural fabrics
I show you a fitting of a beret without even looking at myself in the mirror, since I am sure of the pattern of this beret. I don’t really like berets with large influxes, but such a small beret looks quite decent, so I recommend that you sew such a beret. Such a beret can be sewn from linen, natural lace can also be used in the decor, since synthetic lace cannot be sustained during the heat. The beret can be decorated with any decor, for example, a brooch, flowers, a bird, etc. You can choose a natural fabric for a beret in any color that will harmoniously fit your face and your outfit.
I am very glad that I was able to give you this theme that you have been waiting for three years, I am very glad that now you will have a beret in your wardrobe, and with the help of this video you will definitely succeed!

Fur hats and berets are similar to each other, but have significant differences. This headdress is a soft cap without a visor and side details, usually widened up and narrowed down. It can cover the ears or be only on the head. Functionality depends on the style and material. Examples are shown in the photo.
When choosing a factory-made product, it is necessary not only to follow the fashion, but also to know which variety is suitable for a particular type of face. Any round hat visually lengthens the image. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear it for girls with an oval face type.
With visor
Despite the fact that the visor characterizes a cap or cap, it can also be present on berets. A barely noticeable length adorns the face and at the same time does not cover it.
Round
The most common model that can be found in stores. It is easy to sew, which is why it is so popular among other products. Women's berets made of mink, fox, sable look perfect with leather outerwear, down jackets and winter jackets. With a mink coat, it must be selected carefully. It should be one tone darker or lighter than the outerwear.
Volume
Women's fur berets themselves give extra volume to the head due to the pile. The longer it is, the more spectacular the headdress looks. When buying such an accessory, you do not need to decorate it with various decorations. They will only spoil the image and the impression of the sophistication of the texture of the material.
On an elastic band
A variation of the model is ideally fixed on the head and does not fall off with wind and movement. Usually a wide elastic band is used along the edge of the factory product.
With decor
Various decorations are added to the image if the headdress has a sparse and not long pile. Various brooches, flowers, pendants are placed on the side.
Good to know! Manufacturers cannot do without blanks. This item repeats the shape of the head and is designed for sewing hats.
How to sew with your own hands
Women's mink fur berets are not cheap. It is easier to sew a headdress on your own. Special skills are not required.
- The direction of the pile should be in one direction from the bottom up.
- Cut out the details so as not to damage the pile. Otherwise, bald spots will turn out, the seam and traces of the cut with scissors will be visible.
- Lining fabric is required for the dress.
To add volume and maintain shape, it is easiest to sew a beret from several segments, which are all connected at the crown.
Tools and materials
For work, you need to have all the items at hand. For sewing, you need to prepare:
- scissors;
- needles with thread;
- lining fabric;
- blade;
- thimble;
- sewing machine;
- measuring tape, ruler, pencil or crayon.
Before you start sewing with your own hands, you need to take measurements from the head. You should also not forget about small seam allowances when cutting the material. The craftswoman will have to sew without a blank.
Pattern of a round beret
On a piece of paper, draw a wedge that looks like a petal. Its length should be approximately 21 cm, to the point of expansion - 8 cm. The wide part of the wedge is 11 cm. At the bottom, all wedges are connected by a strip. An example of a fur beret pattern can be seen in the photo.
Attention! The rim that determines the size of the head is called the chestnut.
Working process
There should be no foreign objects on the table where sewing will be done. The work consists of the following stages:
- Spread the skins in the direction of the pile and circle the pattern with a pencil or pen.
- Cut out wedges. It should be cut with a blade on weight, lifting the fur.
- Take a needle and thread and connect all the wedges with a seam over the edge, making two parts of 4 wedges.
- Connect two parts from the center. It must not be moved.
- Make a rim 5-6 cm wide. Make marks on it so that you know where to attach the wedge.
- Process the strip with an oblique trim, that is, stitch the fur rim with lining fabric on a sewing machine along the very edge.
- Attach the rim to the wedges.
- The lining is cut according to the same pattern with a seam allowance of 2 cm.
- In the same way, connect the parts on the machine.
- Insert the wedge blank into the lining and sew to it.
Important! Many seams are done by hand, so the thread must be strong.
Often, such a women's headdress is altered from old mink hats. This will require a ripper and additional time to parse the product. The seams must be ripped carefully, without damaging the fur. If the lining fabric and insulation fit snugly against the mink skin, they must be disconnected from each other. Some craftsmen add a little water to make the process easier.
To complete a women's costume, there is often not enough headgear - a beret or cap. And sometimes, the beret becomes the main decoration of the entire costume ensemble.
Buying a ready-made beret is quite difficult, since it is difficult to match the required model, color, tone, shape, etc. Therefore, you can try to sew a beret with your own hands, especially since the beret pattern is quite simple, and the technology for sewing a soft beret does not require a special sewing machine.
I offer you two beret patterns. The first, in form, is somewhat similar to the male military takes the Airborne Forces, or takes the artist. This is a fairly versatile pattern, making small adjustments will allow you to sew a variety of women's, children's and even men's berets.
The second pattern of the beret is rather intended for sewing a cap with a visor, but such a cap made of soft fabrics and without too hard padding in the visor can also be called a beret.
For sewing a beret with your own hands, soft-shaped berets are the most accessible. They are easy to make, do not require special sewing equipment, are comfortable to wear and complement a modern women's suit well.
For tailoring a soft-shaped beret, you can use a wide variety of materials: leather, suede, drape fabrics, including fur skins.
Before sewing takes, it is necessary to check (clarify) the pattern. First, cut out the details of the beret from an inexpensive dense fabric. When trying on, make the necessary adjustments to the pattern and, if necessary, change the cut of the "trial" sample. And only after that it is possible to transfer the exact pattern of the details of the beret to the prepared fabric, fur or other material and start sewing.
How to take a head measurement to build a beret pattern
Before sewing a beret or cap, you need to accurately measure your head. To determine the size of any headgear, it is necessary to place a centimeter tape around the widest part of the head, as shown in the figure - through the frontal tubercles and the protrusion of the occipital bone. The length of the head circumference line, passing precisely in these parts, will be the size of any headgear.
This measure of head circumference (Ogol) can also be used when buying a finished product. When measuring, do not stretch the tape too much, but do not loosen it either. If the measurements are taken inaccurately, this will be strongly felt when wearing a beret. The beret will either have to be constantly corrected, since it will slide, or vice versa, it will be strongly pulled.
Do not forget also about the thickness of the lining and the sealing of the edging seam, this is especially important to consider when sewing a beret with a visor.
The proposed pattern of a soft-shaped women's beret is just one of hundreds of options. The advantage of just such a pattern is that it is quite simple to build, in addition, this beret model acquires the “correct shape”, since an additionally cut element (side) is used instead of whole wedges. Men's military berets are cut according to this type. By changing the radius of the circumference of the bottom and side, you can change the size of the "blockage" and the women's beret can easily be turned into a men's beret.
The upper diagram shows a model of a size 57 beret, the round bottom of which can be either solid or cut out of four wedges. There is no need to describe in detail how to make a pattern for this beret, the scheme is quite simple. I'd rather pay more attention to beret tailoring technology.
The technology of tailoring and cutting the beret.
Firstly, when cutting, never forget to leave allowances, but this pattern already has 1 cm allowances, so you just need to take into account the quality and density of your fabric. Usually allowances should be at least 0.8 cm, but if the fabric is very loose and loose, then 1.0-1.5 cm can be left.
Since the beret is lined, the details of schemes 1 and 2 must be duplicated in the lining fabric. Allowances for seams of a very "loose" lining, it is desirable to make at least 1.5 cm.
Kashpen (size strip) is a strip of fabric folded in half and stitched on a lining for greater rigidity and size retention. It is advisable to cut out this strip as a whole, but if you do not have enough fabric or the beret design provides for many decorative seams, then you can cut it out of 2, 4 or more parts.
Keep in mind that numerous connecting seams can change the volume of the beret on the head, as a rule, in the direction of its reduction, so be sure to try on a strip sewn into a circle.
The side can also consist of two or four parts. First you need to "assemble" it into a circle, postpone the seams, not forgetting to compare the resulting volume of the lower part with the volume of the dimensional strip. The upper volume must simultaneously coincide with the bottom.
The wedges of the bottom of the beret are ground off, stitched with a finishing line, then the bottom is connected to the prepared side, and the side is connected to the chestnut.
The lining is cut out according to the details of the top, the lining details are connected on a sewing machine, leaving an unstitched “window” in the seam of the connection between the bottom and the side - about 10 cm. Through the left "window" they turn the beret on the front side and close up the hole manually or by machine.
If you have experience with fur, then such a beret can be sewn from fur, the beret will be especially beautifully "lying", sewn from skins with short fur, such as mink fur.
Sewing such a beret with your own hands will require some experience from you, and it is possible that you may not succeed the first time. Therefore, do not "light up" immediately to make it from expensive fabric. Try to sew a prototype first, "fit the pattern", work out the techniques for connecting parts, a visor, a lining, and only after that you can cut an expensive fabric.
Maybe not every woman likes caps, but if you are reading this article, you probably need one. Kepi-raglan is a universal headdress. It is worn not only by women, but also by men, the elderly and children, girls and boys. It is easy to sew such a beret with a visor with your own hands, even with a little experience.
You can sew a beret with a visor from any fabric, but it is better to use soft coat or drape fabric, leather, leatherette, suede, etc. for this.
Despite the many numbers on the pattern diagram, it is quite simple to build a drawing, so again, I will not comment on the construction. I will only note that for convenience, the beret pattern is made together with mines for 1 cm seams.
Build a drawing of a beret pattern according to the diagram, place the pattern details on the fabric or material, observing the direction of the cut (the fractional thread is indicated by an arrow), circle, cut.
Beret tailoring technology.
Stitch a tuck at the bottom and unstitch it. After that, stitch and stitch the details of the side. Then connect the bottom and side, the center of the side with the center of the front. Stitch these parts together around the entire perimeter, stitch the side to the bottom.
Visor for a beret.
Sew two pieces, turn inside out, iron, topstitch to the edge, insert a piece of hard cardboard or plastic so that 1.5 cm is left free at the open cut for the seam with chestpin.
The visor is inserted between two strips of fabric, and a strip of cushioning or adhesive materials is applied on top, for example, a proclamylin pad or even ordinary thick calico. Grind, turn out, stitch to the edge.
The details of the top can also be on the lining, then a more rigid shape of the cap is obtained. Prepare the lining, cut out according to the details of the top. Connect all the pieces together, aligning the center of the front in both parts of the top and in the lining. Sweep them, put a cap with a visor between the top and the lining, face with face. Sew this seam, turn the beret right side out and patch the hole in the lining. The beret is ready.
In fact, sewing takes in practice is not so fast and easy. It is especially difficult to accurately "withstand" the dimensions of the volume of the beret.
1. Try to connect all the details on a typewriter without landing. Despite the small size, even a small "fit" will distort the size of the entire beret. Rounded shapes "feel" such errors very much and as a result, the volume of the headdress may change or the details may be skewed.
2. Baste all the details before sewing them on a typewriter, try on more often. Pay special attention to the volume, the size of the beret.
3. In order for the round seam to be evenly laid out, the allowances connected in a circle must be "carved", cut out with corners without capturing the connecting seam, at a distance of 1.0-1.5 cm from each other. The denser the fabric, the closer you can "approach" to the seam, but not less than 3mm.
4. Connecting seams never smooth out on the front side. On the front side, in extreme cases, they can be treated with hot steam, and then put on a mannequin or an empty glass jar so that the moistened fabric takes the desired shape.
5. In order to iron rounded seams, you need to use a special iron or, in the worst case, an attachment to the ironing board, carefully centimeter by centimeter, ironing them on the wrong side with the tip of the iron.
6. Instead of a chestnut (stripe), you can use the edge processing of the beret with an oblique trim. Such processing is much easier to lay out in a circle, the seam does not wrinkle, and most importantly, you can use a ready-made factory oblique inlay. When stitching the trim, try not to stretch it too much, otherwise the size of the beret may decrease and be tight and uncomfortable.
7. The consumption of fabric for tailoring a beret is small, but, nevertheless, it is advisable to know in advance how much it will take to buy it. To do this, lay out the pattern details of the beret over the entire width of the fabric, taking into account the fractional direction of the thread.
8. If you have a beret that you really like, you can easily remove its pattern using simple techniques for copying cut details. More accurate results can be achieved if the beret is completely disassembled and the ironed parts are used as a pattern.
