CONSTRUCTION
The beanie is worked top down in Stockinette Stitch and 1x1 rib. Stitches for the top of the crown are cast on using the Long-Tail CO method. The work begins with a few of short rows, after which stitches for the other side of the crown are picked up and knitted along the CO edge. Short rows are then worked on the other side as well. After this, the work continues in the round, and increases are worked at the sides as well as the front and back of the beanie. Once the increases are complete, Stockinette Stitch is worked until the start of the brim, which is worked in 1x1 rib. The brim is folded double (or triple, if customized), and the beanie is finished with a tassel (optional).
Hard cover. Printed in Latvia.
