Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky, oversized chunky yarn in earthy neutral colors such as taupe, olive, and cream.
• Needles: US Size 15 (10mm) circular needles, 16-inch length.
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
• Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of the round.
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 36 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. This method provides a stretchy edge, perfect for the brim of your beanie.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your stitches in the round, ensuring that they are not twisted. Place a stitch marker on the first stitch of the round to help keep track of your progress.
3. Ribbed Brim (Rounds 1-4):
   • Round 1: *Knit 1, Purl 1*; repeat from * to * around.
   • Repeat this pattern for Rounds 2-4. You should have a total of 4 rounds of ribbing.
4. Stockinette Stitch (Rounds 5-12):
   • For Rounds 5-12, knit every stitch around. This creates the smooth body of the beanie.
5. Decreasing (Rounds 13-20):
   • Round 13: *Knit 4, k2tog*; repeat from * to * around (you will have 30 stitches at the end of this round).
   • Round 14: Knit all stitches.
   • Round 15: *Knit 3, k2tog*; repeat from * to * around (24 stitches).
   • Round 16: Knit all stitches.
   • Round 17: *Knit 2, k2tog*; repeat from * to * around (18 stitches).
   • Round 18: Knit all stitches.
   • Round 19: *Knit 1, k2tog*; repeat from * to * around (12 stitches).
   • Round 20: *K2tog*; repeat from * to * around (6 stitches).
6. Finish the Beanie: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread this tail through the remaining stitches on your needle and pull tight to close the top of the beanie. This will create a nice, finished look.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely. This will ensure your beanie is neat and ready to wear!
