Steps
Cast on 101 stitches on your circular needles. Join the work in a circle without twisting the cast-on edge and place a stitch marker at the join.
Row 1: work 3 purl stitches, then 2 knit stitches. Repeat this to the end of the row.
Row 2: repeat row 1 exactly, working 3 purl and 2 knit stitches around.
Row 3: work 3 purl stitches, 1 knit stitch, then insert the needle under the second strand below and pull up a loop. Knit 1 stitch and repeat to the end.
Row 4: work 3 purl stitches, then knit 2 stitches together twice. Repeat this to the end of the row.
Repeat rows 1 to 4 five times, then work rows 1 and 2 once more. Turn the knitting and knit the first stitch only in that row.
Continue repeating rows 1 to 4 until the hat reaches the height you want. Then start the crown: work 2 stitches together purlwise, 1 purl, 2 knit, and repeat to the end.
Knit 3 rows in pattern, then work 2 stitches together purlwise and 2 knit stitches around. Knit 3 more rows in pattern.
Work the next rows in pattern, then on the decrease row knit 2 stitches together to the end. Knit the following row plain.
Thread the remaining stitches onto a tapestry needle with yarn, pull tight to close the top, and weave in the loose ends.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches after each decrease row so the crown stays even.
Keep the marker at the start of the round so you do not lose track of the four-row repeat.
Pull the lifted loop snug on row 3, or the star stitch will look loose and uneven.
Questions
Can I knit this hat flat instead of in the round?
Yes, but you would add edge stitches and seam the hat at the end. The pattern as shown is written for seamless knitting in the round.
How do I know when to start the crown decreases?
Knit the body until the hat covers the head down to the top of the ears, then begin the decrease rows. The video starts the crown after reaching the needed height.
What yarn weight works for this beanie?
The pattern uses 200 to 250 m of yarn with 3.5 to 4.0 mm needles, which suits a DK or light worsted weight. Check your gauge first so the hat fits.
