This pattern is part of a series of beanies that have secrets. Upon initial look, the colorwork on the brim looks like a geometric design. But if you turn the beanie on its side and look at only a small portion about an inch in height, you will see it is a word stacked on top of each other, repeated around the brim of the beanie. This pattern uses the word “BEYARNCE” as a request from Adella from LolaBean Yarn Co. who advocates for you to be you, boldly – don’t let anything get in the way; keep going.

The construction of this beanie is knitted in the round as follows:
The outer part of the beanie (colorwork) is knitted first with a provisional cast on using size 7 needles. The stitches from the provisional cast on are picked up to knit the inside lining using size 6 needles. The knitter can choose to make the beanie fit to size or as written in the pattern as a slouchy beanie.
