SWIRL_LOOP_BEANIE is a classic ribbed beanie with a wide folded edge and a spiral method of making decreases, which shapes the top of the beanie.

The beanie is worked from bottom to top. First stitches are casted on with Italian cast on, and double knitting is worked to give the beanie a nice, rounded edge. Then the beanie is worked in the round in ribbing, and decreases are made at the end to shape the top.
