Understanding Right and Wrong Side Relief Crochet

Sometimes you can find terms such as "wrong side" and "right side" relief crochet. By using these crochet techniques, you can create fabric similar to 1 x 1 rib knit using knitting needles.

Right Side Relief Crochet Technique

When performing arched (right side) crochet, you should insert your crochet hook behind the crochet of the previous row, i.e., around the "stem" of the crochet, as shown by the arrow in the diagrams. The double crochet should be positioned above your crochet hook. Catch the working yarn, draw the stitches, and make the crochet as usual.

Wrong Side Relief Crochet Technique

For incurved (wrong side) crochet, insert your crochet hook in the stitch according to the direction shown in the diagrams, i.e., from the wrong side towards yourself, then take the crochet hook out towards the wrong side. Catch the working yarn, draw the stitch, and crochet as usual.

Starting Your Work

Begin your work with a slip stitch (see diagram 3). Make 3 stitches to increase, followed by 11 double crochets in the center of the ring. Tighten the stitch. Continue your work according to scheme 2, increasing stitches until you reach the desired beret diameter. Finish each row with a slip stitch and start with the necessary number of increasing stitches. In this case, the total number of "beads" should be 18. If you prefer a smaller diameter for your beret, you can opt for 12 "beads."

Shaping the Beret

After reaching the desired diameter, continue your work without increases to create the straight part of the beret. To circle the beret, you will need to decrease the number of stitches. For this, make 2 relief crochets together where you previously made increases. Proceed with 1 x 1 rib crochet for 5 to 7 rows before finishing your work.

Finishing Touches

To complete the beret, make a row with a "shrimp stitch" (see diagram 4) along the edge of the cap band. Insert your crochet hook into the holes between the crochets of the last row of rib.
