Batty About Bats Beret Knitalong
On October 1, 2023 we will officially celebrate the launch of my very first knitting pattern, The Batty About Bats Beret with a knit-a-long! If you are interested in joining the knit-a-long, please keep reading!
The Batty About Bats Beret is based on beret patterns of the 1930s and inspired by Halloween publicity photos, taken of starlets of the time, including Clara Bow! I have chosen to adorn the spooky beret with bats. Why? I may be obsessed with them!
The Batty About Bats Beret is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn and is suitable for advanced beginners and above. However, if you are a beginner and are confident in the swirling mysteries of this beret, then please give it a try!
The Batty About Bats Beret Knit-a-long will be hosted on Discord and Ravelry (please see links below). The knit-a-long will run from October 1st until October 31st (the most spookiest day of the year). The beret is a quick knit and you should be able to finish it in a few days!

The Haslam System of Dresscutting: Creating the Sloper/Pattern Block
Today we’re going to build the front and back sloper/pattern block. Do you have your tools ready!!!
As I mentioned in the previous video, you will need a few items.
- The .pdfs
- Some kind of tracing paper or large sheets of something. I personally use brown packing paper to draw my patterns on.
- Poster board or as we call it in Canada Bristol board. I glue my template to it, to give it more structure. You will also use the poster board to make your pattern block.
- Pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, and markers.
- Paper scissors
- Glue of some sort. Elmer’s glue works, but I personally preferred using a glue stick. It was easier for me.
- I also found an awl as a handy tool for punching the holes.
Please also see my blog post on Patreon for this information (free): https://www.patreon.com/posts/haslam-system-of-87543607
Now. Let’s put together the back pattern block!
Alright! We have our pattern blocks ready to go. In the next video, I will show you have to draft your pattern! Please make sure you have already downloaded the pattern book. I will link it again below.
