Construction

The beanie is knit flat using a mix of garter stitch and stockinette stitch to create a rectangle. The rectangle is then seamed together using the mattress stitch to create a tube, and the top is closed. Instructions for adding colorful stripes are also included!

Short row version:
When knitting the rectangle flat, short rows are used to shape the crown of the beanie and reduce excess fabric. The rest of the steps remain the same.
