Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep jewel tones: emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and ruby red.
• Needles: US 8 (5.0 mm) circular needles with a 16-inch cable.
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and attaching fringe.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the emerald green yarn, cast on 96 stitches. Make sure to join in the round carefully to avoid twisting the stitches. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
2. Ribbing (Rounds 1-8): Work in a *K2, P2* ribbing pattern for 8 rounds. This creates a stretchy brim for your beanie.
3. Switch to Sapphire Blue: Change to sapphire blue yarn.
4. Stockinette Stitch (Rounds 9-20): Knit all stitches for 12 rounds. This will form the main body of the beanie.
5. Switch to Amethyst Purple: Change to amethyst purple yarn.
6. Continue Stockinette Stitch (Rounds 21-32): Knit all stitches for another 12 rounds.
7. Switch to Ruby Red: Change to ruby red yarn.
8. Final Stockinette Stitch (Rounds 33-40): Knit all stitches for 8 rounds.
9. Begin Decreases for Crown: Start shaping the crown of the beanie with the following decrease pattern:
• Round 41: *K10, k2tog* repeat around. (88 stitches)
• Round 42: Knit all stitches.
• Round 43: *K9, k2tog* repeat around. (80 stitches)
• Round 44: Knit all stitches.

• Round 58: *K1, k2tog* repeat around. (16 stitches)
• Round 59: *K2tog* repeat around. (8 stitches)
10. Finish Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top of the beanie. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
11. Add Fringe: To create the fringe, cut 16 pieces of yarn (4 of each color) approximately 10 inches long. Attach the fringe evenly around the bottom edge of the beanie by folding each piece in half, pulling the loop through a stitch, and threading the ends through the loop. Trim the fringe to your desired length.
