Construction Notes

“Carlo Beanie” is knitted from bottom up in the round using a particular cast on with a well-finished and pleasantly elastic result.
The pattern stitch is characterised by an alternation of k2, p2 rib so that the beanie brim almost disappears being already part of it.
The crown decreases, which consist in decreasing four stitches in four equally spaced points, play well and form a lovely decoration.
