  Change the green to red to turn it into Mario.


STARTING the BEANIE
CO 80 (90, 100) sts on 4.0mm needles with main color yarn.
Place a marker and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
Do ribbing (k1, p1) for 1 inch (approx.. 7 rounds).
Change to larger needles and proceed in knitting for 4.25 (5, 5.50) inches. This will give you 29 (34, 39) rounds. Please follow the graph to know in which rows to do the color changes.

SHAPING the CROWN
  Row 1: k8, k2tog around
  Row 2 and all even rows: knit around
  Row 3: k7, k2tog around
  Row 5: k6, k2tog around
  Row 7: k5, k2tog around
  Row 9: k4, k2tog around
  Row 11: k3, k2tog around
  Row 13: k2, k2tog around
  Row 15: k1, k2tog around
  Row 17: k2tog around
  Row 19: k2tog around
Leave a tail (up to 8"). You will use a tapestry needle to thread the tail through the last remaining stitches on your needle. After that remove the needles from the stitches and pull tightly to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside and weave it in.
