Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep jewel tones such as emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple.
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) circular needles, 16-inch length.
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 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 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Make sure to leave a long enough tail for weaving in later. Once you have your stitches cast on, carefully join in the round, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.

2. Create the Ribbed Brim

For the first six rounds, work the following:

Round 1-6: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around for a ribbed brim.

3. Begin the 3D Cable Pattern

Now, we will start the 3D cable pattern:

Round 7-10: *K6, P2* repeat from * to * around.
Round 11: *C6F (slip 3 stitches to cable needle and hold in front, K3, then K3 from cable needle), P2* repeat from * to * around.
Round 12-16: *K6, P2* repeat from * to * around.

Repeat rounds 11-16 for the 3D cable pattern until the beanie measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.

4. Begin Decrease

Once your beanie reaches the desired length, it’s time to start decreasing:

Round 1: *K4, K2tog, P2* repeat from * to * around. (80 stitches)
Round 2: *K5, P2* repeat from * to * around.
Round 3: *K3, K2tog, P2* repeat from * to * around. (64 stitches)

Round 8: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
Round 9: *K2tog, P2* repeat from * to * around. (16 stitches)

5. Finishing Touches
