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.
