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

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.

Don't forget to check your gauge.

PATTERN NOTES - must read...
  Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
  Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
  Socks are worked from the toe up.
  Instructions are given using a circular needle for the magic loop method.
  If you’re making your socks using the magic loop method, be sure to pull tight each time when knitting the 1st stitch on each one of the needles (front and back) to prevent a hole.

STARTING the TOE
Using the turkish cast on and with the 3.25mm needles, CO 24 sts over 2 needles (12sts on ea needle)
(with another skein of yarn, cast on an additional 24sts if you're going to be making 2 at a time)
  Rnd 1: k all sts on front and back needles (12sts on ea needle = 24sts)
  Rnd 2: *k1, m1l, k to last st, m1l, k1* repeat from * to * for the back needle (14sts on ea needle = 28sts)
  Rnd 3: k all sts on front and back needles (14sts on ea needle = 28sts)
Repeat rounds 2-3 until you have 28 sts on each needle = 56sts total

STARTING the FOOT
NOTE: The cables are worked over 6 stitches only on the front needles.
  Rnd 18: k1, *p2, k4* repeat from * to * 2 more times, p2, k1, k28 from back needle (28sts on ea needle = 56sts)
  Rnd 19: repeat rnd 18
  Rnd 20: k, *p2, place 2sts on cn & hold to front, k2, k2 from cn* repeat from * to * 2 more times, p2, k1, k28 from back needle
  Rnd 21-24: repeat rnd 18
Repeat round 20-24 til you reach round 66.
At this point, your sock should reach where you’re foot meets your leg.

STARTING the HEEL (fleegle heel)
NOTE: for the front needle we will continue working the same pattern that we have been doing while for the back needle we will start increasing to form a “V”. As you start doing the heel, you will start seeing a pattern and it will become easy.
  Rnd 67: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 30back = 58sts)
  Rnd 68: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k30 (58sts)
  Rnd 69: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 32back = 60sts)
  Rnd 70: repeat rnd 20 for front needle, back needle-> k32 (60sts)
  Rnd 71: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 34back = 62sts)
  Rnd 72: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k34 (62sts)
  Rnd 73: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 36back = 64sts)
  Rnd 74: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k36 (64sts)
  Rnd 75: repeat rnd 20 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 38back = 66sts)
  Rnd 76: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k38 (66sts)
  Rnd 77: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 40back = 68sts)
  Rnd 78: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k40 (68sts)
  Rnd 79: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 42back = 70sts)
  Rnd 80: repeat rnd 20 for front needle, back needle-> k42 (70sts)
  Rnd 81: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 44back = 72 sts)
  Rnd 82: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k44 (72sts)
  Rnd 83: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 46back = 74sts)
  Rnd 84: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k46 (74sts)
  Rnd 85: repeat rnd 20 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 48back = 76sts)
  Rnd 86: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k48 (76sts)
  Rnd 87: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1 (28front + 50back = 78sts)
  Rnd 88: repeat rnd 18 for front needle, back needle-> k50 (78sts)
For the following round, we will only be working on the front needle as follows…
  Rnd 89: repeat rnd 18 and leave the back needles unworked.

STARTING the HEEL TURN
NOTE: we would only be working on the back needle in rows to start decreasing and shaping the heel.
Place a marker at the center of the heel (back needle).
You should have 25sts on each side (50sts total)
knit 2sts pass the marker, ssk, k1, turn your work, pull yarn tight,
slip 1st st, purl 2sts pass the marker, p2tog, p1, turn,
*slip 1st st, knit to the gap, ssk the st before & after the gap together, k1, turn,
slip 1st st, purl to the gap, p2tog the st before & after the gap together, p1, turn*
repeat from * to * until you have no stitches left to decrease
You should have ended with the wrong/purl side and with 28sts (original amount before increasing). Turn your work and knit across.
Repeat above process on 2nd sock.

STARTING the LEG
  Rnd 90: repeat rnd 20 on front and back needles (56sts)
  Rnd 91-94: repeat rnd 18 on front and back needles (56sts)
Keep repeating round 90-94 ‘til you reach round 131 or desired length.

STARTING the CUFF
  Rnd: 132-136: k1, p1 on front and back needles (56sts)
Bind off by using Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off.
Secure and weave in the ends.

  Row 28: slip 1, psso
F/O and draw through the remaining stitch. Weave in the ends.
Fold the ear in half along row 14. Using the 8mm crochet hook and black yarn, 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 the black yarn; whip stitch along the entire ear to close it off.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     EARS... place them between rounds 21 and 35 or the position you like best. You'll want to fold the sides of the ears a little bit in to make them look pointier.

Ribbed Slouchy Beanie (knit)

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

10 year old with the adult/male size.
Folded in to fit perfectly.

      Slouchy beanies are really trendy among teenagers, as well as adults. I truly hope that this beanie grabs your attention and gets a top place in your collection of knit beanies. 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 (cast on, knit, purl, and slip knit past [skp]).

20.5" to 21" (child or teen),
21.5" to 22.5" (adult/women) and
23" to 24" (adult/male).

MATERIALS
*DPN's or Circular Needles: 3.5mm
*Worsted Weight Yarn: Black or any color of choice
*Stitch Markers to mark your rounds
*Tapestry Needle

  You're able to easily customize the beanie by casting on multiples of 6.

Place a marker and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

If you cast on a bigger or smaller number of stitches in the beginning, then you will get a bigger or smaller number of stitches on needles after decreasing. In case you get more than 20 stitches on your needles - repeat round 4 and 5.
When you finish round 5, leave a long tail (up to 8"). Next, you will use a hook or a tapestry needle to thread the tail through the last remaining stitches on your needles. After that remove the needles from the stitches and pull tightly to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside of the hat and weave it in.

OPTIONAL...
You can add a pom-pom on the top of the beanie.
You will find this video very useful on how to make a pom-pom using the pom-pom maker.
