Beanie
Row 1: ch 50
Row 2: turn, ch 1, yoss blo to eor.
*Row 3: turn, ch 1, yoss blo until you have 2 sts left on row. End the row here, to start shaping the top of the hat.
Row 4: turn, ch 1, yoss blo to eor.*
Do *-* a total of 3 times, until you have 44 sts on row 8.
Row 9: turn, ch 1, yoss blo to eor, then proceed to yoss blo in the stitches you skipped from row 7, 5 and 3 all the way to the top.
Row 10: turn, ch 1, yoss blo to eor.
Repeat row 3 to row 10 until the beanie fits comfortably around your head. I have quite a small head and needed 6 repeats. Make sure it’s a little snug, as beanies have a tendency to stretch with wear.
Fasten off, but leave a long tail that you use to sew up the sides of the beanie with whip stitches from the right side, then thread that same tail through the top stitches of the beanie and pull tight to close. Secure the end and weave in any loose ends. Block using the appropriate method for your yarn
