“You are the star of your knitting” and thus X marks the spot when wearing your finished beanie. As knitters, we learn that illusion knitting is a series of loops, but to those who don’t know, the finished product is magical. You know the tricks behind the awe; you make the magic happen. This pattern was created as a tribute to Knit Stars Season 10: Be eXtraordinary.

The construction of this beanie is knitted flat. The sides are then stitched together using the mattress stitch. The crown of the beanie is created by sewing the inside corners together from the inside of the beanie.
