Pattern Notes
This beanie is worked in continuous joined rounds. Move your stitch marker up at the end of each round.
The magic ring allows you to pull the center of the hat closed tightly. If you prefer, you can start with a chain 2 and work 6 sc in the first chain instead.
For a larger hat, add more increase rounds in the crown section. For a smaller hat, stop increasing at 42 or 36 stitches.
Machine wash on gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Acrylic yarn is durable and easy to care for.
