BRAIDS
Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 36 inches long. Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Braid the strands and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing.

      SNOUT...place in the center between rounds 10 and 16 for the toddler size.

Place in the center between rounds 13 and 19 for the child/adult size.

     EARS...place them on rounds 5 and 8 for both sizes.

     EYES...using black yarn, embroider a line between rounds 9 and 10; 3 stitches wide for the toddler size.

Between rounds 11 and 12; 3 stitches wide for the child/adult size.

     MOUTH...using black yarn, embroider the mouth on the snout.

Metroid Beanie (knit)

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!"

    Simple but yet very stylish; for boys and girls of all ages. You can comfortably wear it during any season depending on the yarn you used and the weather, of course. This is an easy-to-knit beanie if you know the basics knit, purl and k2tog.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
Child (6yrs - 10yrs) [19" to 20" head circumference]
Teen/Small Adult [20" to 21" head circumference]

Adult (men) [21" to 23" head circumference]

MATERIALS
*Worsted Weight Yarn: Main Color & small amounts of black, red, white & green
*DPN's or Circular Needles: 4.5mm & 5.0mm
*Stitch Marker to mark your rounds
*Tapestry Needle

GAUGE
Using 5.0mm needles...  4.5 stitches x  6 rows = 1"
Don't forget to check your gauge.

PATTERN NOTES
  This pattern can either be knitted when making the hat or duplicate stitched on afterward; the choice is yours. Here's a great video on how to duplicate stitch: HERE.

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: right-click on the image and open the image in a new tab to enlarge and print it out.

The grid lines on the pattern graph may look uneven on your monitor, but will print out evenly.

  Row 6: hdc2tog, hdc in next 11 sts, sc in next st, sl st in next 2 sts, sc in next st, hdc in next 11 sts, hdc2tog (28)

  Rnd 1: there is no need to chain 1 or turn your work. You'll sc around the entire piece and be sure to add 2sc in each corner. Join with an invisible join to the 1st st.

F/O, leave a tail for sewing.

Note: when you see a + sign it means all those stitches are supposed to be done in that one particular stitch.

F/O, leave a tail for sewing.

BOW with color of choice, 3.75mm (F)

  In a magic ring sc, ch3, 3 tr, ch3, 2 sc, ch3, 3 tr, ch3, sc
Pull tight to close. F/O, leave a tail for sewing.

BRAIDS
Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 36 inches long. Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Braid the strands and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way.

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).     

     FACE... toddler: 10 and 16.

Child/small adult: place it between rounds 12 and 19.

     NOSE...find the center and place it between row 5 and mid-way of the 3rd row.

     EYES...place them between rows 5 and 6; approx. 0.78" (2cm) away from the nose.

     BOW...place it in the position you like best.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS

Toddler (12 months - 3yrs) [18" to 19.5" head circumference]
Child/Small Adult [20" to 21.5" head circumference]

MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 3.75mm (F) & 5.0mm (H)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: main color, light blue, white, light gray & black
*Stitch Markers to mark your rounds
*Tapestry needle
*Matching thread

GAUGE

3 hdc stitches x 2.5 rows = 1"

At the end of round 8, laying flat = 6.25" in diameter

Don’t forget to check your gauge.

PATTERN NOTES

 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.

 Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.

 The chain 2 at the beginning of each round counts as 1 hdc.

 You slip stitch on the top of the chain 2.

 When a round or row mentions “around/across” you will be working that whole sequence from that round/row around the entire piece. (EX: sc in next st, 2sc in next st, around = sc, inc, sc, inc,…)

Child (6yrs - 10yrs) [19" to 20" head circumference]
Teen/Small Adult [20" to 21" head circumference]

*DPN's or Circular Needles: 4.5mm & 5.0mm

PATTERN NOTES

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.
