Making the Beanie

Starting the Beanie:

• Begin with red yarn, make a magic ring.

• Round 2: Work 2 hdc in each stitch around (20 hdc).
• Round 3: hdc in the next stitch, 2 hdc in the following stitch, repeat around (30 hdc).
• Continue increasing in this pattern until Round 6, where you should have 60 hdc.

Forming the Body of the Beanie:

• For Rounds 7 through 19, hdc in each stitch around, maintaining 60 hdc. This will form the body of the beanie.
• To finish, sc in the next 2 stitches, slip stitch in the next, and fasten off, weaving in the ends.

Creating the Face

Eyes: Make 2 in white and 2 in black, starting with a magic ring.

• For the white parts, work 6 sc into the ring, then increase in the subsequent rounds until you have 18 sc.
• The black parts will be smaller, made with just one round of 6 sc for the pupils.

Nose: With orange yarn, start with a magic ring.

• Work similarly to the eyes, beginning with 6 sc, increasing to 18 sc over three rounds.

Mouth: Begin with a chain of 8 in black yarn.

• Work a sequence of dc stitches, increasing in each row to create a smiling mouth shape, finishing with a picot stitch for detail.

Assembling the Beanie

• Use stitch markers to secure pieces before sewing each on with the yarn needle and respective yarn tails.
• Stretch the picots on the mouth to achieve a pronounced smile.
