Notes before you start
- Source: "Crochet Scarf and Beret", Knitted and Crocheted Boutique (Star Book No. 226), American Thread Company. Public domain in the USA.
- As printed — materials: AMERICAN THREAD “DAWN” KNITTING WORSTED or DAWN “SAYELLE”; 2—4 oz. skeins Pink or Candy Pink; Plastic Crochet Hook Size J OR ANY SIZE HOOK WHICH WILL RESULT IN STITCH GAUGE BELOW. Gauge: 7 sts = 2 inches.
- Modernisation note: Original is written in US crochet terms; kept as US terms (sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble crochet).
- Modernisation note: Spaced abbreviations (s c, d c, sl st) written as sc, dc, sl st; "trc" written as tr (the booklet's abbreviation list gives "Treble Crochet tr c"); "1st" written as "first"; "st of ch" written as "ch" where the stitch is a chain; "repeat" written as "rep".
- Modernisation note: "Cut yarn" written as "fasten off"; "attach" (yarn) written as "join".
- Modernisation note: Long printed paragraphs split into one row, round or step per line; stitch order unchanged.
- Modernisation note: The printed materials carry a footnote mark after "SAYELLE" (a DuPont certification mark for the fibre); the mark is omitted from the materials list.
- Modernisation note: Row, round and foundation labels added where the booklet prints none (scarf Row 1; beret foundation and Rnds 1–9; band Rnd 1).
- Modernisation note: The band decrease ("insert in next s c, pull through, insert in next s c, pull through, yo and through all loops (a dec)") is a single crochet two together and is labelled sc2tog.
- Modernisation note: "Weave in ends" added as a finishing step; not printed.
- Modernisation note: Check: the scarf is decreased twice (2 rows each) but increased only once (2 rows); the ends are therefore not the same width. Kept as printed.
- Modernisation note: Check: the beret's first round into the 79-ch ring is not described beyond "work in pattern same as scarf"; alternate sc and dc into the chain as in scarf Row 1.
- Modernisation note: Check: "Skip every 3rd s c and d c" (Rnd 14) and "Skip every other 2 sts" (last round) are the booklet's decreases; kept as printed. Work them as skipped pattern pairs so the sc-over-dc / dc-over-sc pattern stays aligned.
- Modernisation note: Metric conversions added.
