Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in soft cream and pastel green
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that you have a comfortable length of yarn for the tail to avoid running out.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join the stitches in the round, making sure not to twist them. This is crucial for a seamless beanie.
3. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (knit 1, purl 1) for 2 inches. This will create a snug and stretchy brim for your beanie.
4. Main Pattern: Transition to the main pattern as follows:
   • Round 1: *K4, P2, K2, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 2: *K4, P2, K2, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 3: *K2, YO, SSK, P2, K2, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 4: *K4, P2, K2, P2; repeat from * to end.
5. Continue Pattern: Keep repeating the main pattern until the beanie measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge. Measure carefully to ensure the correct length.
6. Crown Shaping: Begin shaping the crown of the beanie:
   • Round 1: *K2tog, K2, P2, K2tog, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 2: *K3, P2, K1, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 3: *K2tog, K1, P2, K2tog, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 4: *K2, P2, K1, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 5: *K2tog, P2, K2tog, P2; repeat from * to end.
   • Round 6: *K1, P1; repeat from * to end.
7. Finish: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top of the beanie. This will create a neat finish.
8. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean look.
