Pattern for Beanie with I-Cord Ribbon


Materials Needed
- Yarn: Medium weight (Worsted) yarn (approximately 100-150 yards)
- Needles: 
  - Circular knitting needles or double-pointed needles (size 8 US or as per gauge)
- Darning needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
 Gauge
- 4 inches = 16 stitches in stockinette stitch
 Pattern Instructions
 Part 1: Knit the Beanie
1. Cast On: 
   - Cast on 84 stitches (or the number based on your gauge for desired circumference).
   - Join in the round being careful not to twist.
2. Brim:
   - Ribbing: *(K1, P1) for 2-3 inches*.
3. Body of the Hat:
   - Switch to Stockinette Stitch: Knit every round until the beanie measures about 6-8 inches from the cast-on edge (or your desired length).
4. Crown Decrease:
   - Round 1: *(K10, K2tog)* repeat to end of round.
   - Round 2: Knit all stitches.
   - Round 3: *(K9, K2tog)* repeat to end of round.
   - Round 4: Knit all stitches.
   - ...Continue this pattern, decreasing the number of knit stitches before the K2tog every two rounds...
   - End Decrease When: You have around 8-10 stitches left.
5. Finishing the Hat:
   - Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 8 inches).
   - Use the darning needle to draw the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight.
   - Weave in all ends.
 Part 2: Create the I-Cord Ribbon
1. Cast On:
   - Cast on 3 stitches using the same yarn.
2. Knit the I-Cord: 
   - Knit the 3 stitches.
   - Slide the work back to the other end of the needle (do not turn).
   - Repeat until the i-cord is about 30-40 inches long (length can vary depending on your preference).
3. Bind Off: 
   - Bind off loosely and leave a long tail for sewing.
 Part 3: Attach the I-Cord
- Thread the i-cord through the top of the beanie, either weaving it around the brim or tying a bow on top.
 Completed Project
- You should now have a warm beanie complete with a nice i-cord ribbon!
