NOTES

1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
2. This pattern is worked sideways and then seamed together at the end, from the top down.
3. The beginning ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch.
4. • • repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.
5. When you see a st – BLO, this means to work that specified st in the Back Loop Only.
6. I recommend using stitch markers to mark some sts. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress, unless otherwise stated.
7. Not all heads conform to size by age; please measure for a more accurate fit. If you want to adjust the size of your beanie, you should add/subtract 2 rows and end with Row 2. If you want your beanie to be longer or slouchy, add a few more chains to the foundation chain. Note that the main pattern repeat is a multiple of 3 stitches.
