Pattern Overview:

This beanie is worked in rounds, starting from the brim to the crown, featuring a ribbed brim followed by a textured pattern obtained through alternating rounds of e-wrap stitches and purl stitches.

Instructions:

Brim:

1. Cast On: Create a slip knot and place it on the anchor peg.
2. Set Up: E-wrap all 36 pegs.
3. Row 1: U-wrap knit stitch around each peg.
4. Rows 2-8 (Ribbing): Knit 1, Purl 1 to the end of the round. Repeat this ribbing pattern for a total of 8 rows to form the brim.

Body:

1. Rows 9-11 (Texture Start): E-wrap all pegs for three consecutive rounds.
2. Rows 12-13: Purl all pegs for two rounds.
3. Repeat Pattern: Repeat these five rows (three e-wrap rows followed by two purl rows) five times in total to create the textured body of the beanie. You should have 25 pattern rows in total above the ribbed brim.

Closing:

1. Work three additional rounds of e-wrap stitch to finish up the body of the beanie.
2. Drawstring Cast Off: Thread the yarn tail through a yarn needle. Pass the needle under each loop on the pegs, removing them from the loom as you go. Once all loops are on the yarn tail, pull it to cinch the top of the beanie closed but not completely—leave a small opening.
3. Reinforce the closed top by sewing through the top stitches.
4. Finish: Weave in all ends.

Pom Pom (Optional):

1. Using a pom pom maker and leftover yarn, create a pom pom.
2. Secure the pom pom to the top of the beanie, ensuring it is firmly attached and trimmed to your liking.

This pattern creates a beautiful textured beanie with a ribbed brim and a soft, bulky texture. Enjoy your knitting!
