Instructions for this beanie: Because you are knitting with double-pointed needles, you are working in rounds and your work will always be facing you on the right side.
Cast on 40 stitches (10 on each needle) and close the loop when you start the first row.
Rows 1-6 will be done in the “Ribbing Stitch”. (description above)
Rows 7-27 will be done in the “Seed Stitch”. (description above)
Now it is time to reduce the stitches. Continue only in the stockinette stitch. (description above)
Row 28 - Knit every 4th and 5th stitch together. Now you have only 8 stitches on each needle when the row is finished.
Row 29 - Knit.
Row 30 - Knit and knit every 3rd and 4th stitch together. Now you have only 6 stitches on each needle when the row is finished.
Row 31 - Knit.
Row 32 - Knit and knit every 2nd and 3rd stitch together. Now you have only 4 stitches on each needle.
Row 33 - Knit every 2 stitches together. Now you have only 2 stitches on each needle. Cut your yarn at a 15 cm or 6 inch length and place the end through a thick sewing needle. Pull the needle through all the remaining stitches and close off. Sew the end of the yarn on the wrong side of the hat to secure it. Sew the other yarn ends to the inside of the hat to secure them.
