NOTES

1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
2. This pattern is worked from the bottom (band) up.
3. I recommend using stitch markers to mark the beginning st/sp of each round of the beanie. Remember to move the stitch marker as you progress.
4. The asterisk * indicates pattern repeats. You will need to repeat all the instructions between asterisks.
5. Total stitches are indicated at the end of each round.
6. To change the beanie’s size, add or subtract 6 rows for the band or 6 stitches for the body pattern. Although the pattern calls for multiples of 2, I recommend using multiples of 6 stitches to match the crown’s shaping. If you want your beanie to be slouchy, add a few more rows to the body of the beanie before continuing with the decreases or shaping of the crown.
