Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Frosted Peaks Beanie:

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted before joining in the round. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
2. Ribbing:
   • Rounds 1-8: *K2, P2* around. Repeat this sequence for a total of 8 rounds. This will create a snug ribbed brim for your beanie.
3. Cable Pattern:
   • Round 9: *K4, P2, C4F* (to perform the cable, slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, knit 2 stitches, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle), P2. Repeat this sequence around.
   • Rounds 10-12: *K4, P2* repeat around for 3 rounds. This will create a solid background for your cable pattern.
   • Continue repeating Rounds 9-12 until the beanie measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge.
4. Crown Shaping:
   • Round 1: *K2, P2tog, K2, P2* repeat around. (You will have 84 stitches at the end of this round.)
   • Round 2: *K4, P1* repeat around.
   • Round 3: *K2, C2F, K2, P1* repeat around.
   • Round 4: *K4, P1* repeat around.

   • Round 10: *K1, P1* repeat around.
   • Round 11: *K2tog* repeat around. (You will have 24 stitches.)
   • Round 12: *K2tog* repeat around. (You will have 12 stitches.)
5. Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top of the beanie. Weave in all ends securely to ensure a neat finish.
