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
Rnd 1: k8, k2tog around
Rnd 2 and all even rounds: knit around
Rnd 3: k7, k2tog around
Rnd 5: k6, k2tog around
Rnd 7: k5, k2tog around
Rnd 9: k4, k2tog around
Rnd 11: k3, k2tog around
Rnd 13: k2, k2tog around
Rnd 15: k1, k2tog around
Rnd 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.
NOTE: The ears are worked all in one piece and then folded in half.

Cast off all stitches. Weave in the ends.
Fold the ear in half along row 13. Using the 3.75mm (F) crochet hook, single crochet along the entire ear to close it off. F/O, weave in all ends.
Another method you can use if you're not comfortable crocheting, use a tapestry needle and whip stitch along the entire ear to close it off.
ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people prefer to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I use matching thread).

EARS...lay out the beanie flat and find the position you like best.
