*Notes*

-I prefer the magic ring method, YouTube is a great source in teaching yourself this method if you do not know how to do this.  (YouTube is how I learned.) But if you do not want to do this, you can also chain 3 and slip stitch into the 1^st chain.  Just keep in mind you may have a visible hole in the top of your beanie when finished.

-Please also note this pattern can easily be lengthened or shortened by increasing or decreasing your number of rows.
-If you sell products using this pattern online please post that my pattern was used to make it with your listing information.

Cheers!
