Pattern Language: English
Techniques Used: Cast on 120 stitches and begin the main design right from the first row. Continue knitting until the beanie measures approximately 8 inches in total length. After completing the crown decreases, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches, pull tight to close the crown, and sew the side seam neatly using the mattress stitch or your preferred seaming method to finish the beanie
