The BRIGHTON Beanie is worked from the bottom up, in stockinette stitch, in the round. First the wide brim of the hat is formed which will be folded and knitted together with the cast on edge. The beanie will be turned inside out and knitted in the opposite direction. The crown will be finished by working simple decreases.
