NOTES

1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
2. This pattern is worked sideways and seamed together at the end.
3. The beginning ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
4. All slip stitches are worked through the BLO (back loop only) while all Cross Stitch Single Crochet stitches are worked through both loops.
5. I suggest checking your slip stitches as you go and working them loosely. They tend to alter your gauge, tighten it, and change the beanie’s size.
6. I recommend using stitch markers to mark the beginning/end of the body/brim and body/crown of the beanie. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress.
7. Not all heads conform to size by age; please measure for a more accurate fit. If you want to adjust the size of your beanie, you should add/subtract 2 rows. If you want your beanie to be longer or slouchy, add a few more chains to the foundation chain. Note that the main (body) pattern repeat is a multiple of 2 stitches.
