Emma’s Beanie is worked from the bottom up. First an i cord is worked to form the bottom edge of the beanie. Stitches are then picked up into the i cord edge and knitted in the round to form the body of the hat. The ear flaps are worked using short rows and the crown is worked with simple decreases.
