STARTING the BEANIE

CO 80 (90, 90) sts on 4.5mm 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. 6 rounds).

Change to larger needles and proceed knitting for 4 (4.5, 5) inches. This will give you approx. 27 (32, 37) 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

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 removing the needles from the stitches, pull tightly to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside and weave it in.
