Frills Beanie - Cute and minimalistic everyday beanie

Gentle frills at the brim and at the top of the ‘pompom’ add a hint of cuteness to the otherwise simple beanie. The full knitted lining makes the beanie warm to wear.

The beanie is knitted in the round in Stockinette Stitch as a long tube starting from the middle of the lining with a provisional cast-on. The lower half of the lining is knitted first, followed by the top of the beanie from the brim to the crown, and the upper part of the lining is knitted last. The ends of the tube are joined at the middle of the lining with Kitchener stitches.

Techniques
Provisional cast-on & Kitchener stitches.
