Read the pattern carefully before starting. 2. This pattern is worked from the bottom (brim/band) up. 3. The beginning ch 1 does not count as a stitch. 4. I recommend using stitch markers to mark the beginning of the round. Remember to move stitch markers as you progress. 5. Not all heads conform to size by age; please measure for a more accurate fit. If you want to adjust the size of your beanie, you should add/subtract 3 rows to the brim pattern. If you want your beanie to be longer or slouchy, add a few more rounds before working on the crown of your beanie. Note that the main (body) pattern repeat is a multiple of 3 stitches. 6. Try working your waistcoat stitch as loosely as possible, particularly if you are a tight crocheter. The space where you need to insert your hook can get very tight, making crocheting the waistcoat stitch hard on your hands. I would love to see your Silver Thaw Beanie version!
