I stayed with the same three colours for them … ginger, curry and dark chocolate combos. I finished knitting an adult basic beanie for ElderDog Canada ... it is curry and dark chocolate. One of their supporters had requested four and this is the fourth one.
Sizes: Prem [0-3, 6-9, 12-18, Child, Adult, XL]
To fit head: 30 [35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 61]cm
Yarn: 4ply weight yarn
Needles: 5mm circular needles or double pointed needles to work in the round and
for crown shaping
Using circular needles, cast on 60 [70, 76, 90, 96, 104, 116] sts, join for working in the round, making sure the work
isn't twisted, and place the stitch marker to mark the beginning.
Ribbing: (k1, p1) to end.
Repeat until cuff measures 2 [2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4, 5]cm from cast on (straight cuff), or 4 [5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10]cm from cast on (folded cuff), or desired length.
Sizes 6-9, 12-18 and XL: kfb, knit to end. 1 stitch increased. (- [-, 77, 91, -, -, 117]sts)
Now knit every round until hat measures either 5 [6.5, 8, 9.5, 12, 13, 16]cm from cast on edge (straight cuff), or 7 [9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 20]cm from cast on (folded cuff), or desired length.
Crown Shaping
Decrease round: (k8 [8, 9, 11, 10, 11, 11], k2tog), to end. 6 [7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9] sts decreased.
Next round: knit to end.
Repeat these two rounds, working 1 less stitch before the k2tog in each new repeat, and still decreasing the same number of stitches each time, until you have 18 [21, 21, 21, 24, 24, 27]sts.
Next round: (k1, k2tog) to end. (12 [14, 14, 14, 16, 16, 18]sts.)
Next round: k2tog to end. (6 [7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9]sts.)
Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Thread this tail through the remaining live stitches using your yarn needle, taking the knitting needles out as you go, and pull to close. Fasten off, and weave in both ends.
Ribbing: (k1, p1) to end.
Repeat until cuff measures 2 [2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4, 5]cm from cast on (straight cuff), or 4 [5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10]cm from cast on (folded cuff), or desired length.
