Pattern notes

● Ch1 or 2 at the beginning does not count as stitch.

● You could also add more rows of puff stitches by making the length shorter
and adding a couple more rows of the puff stitches.
● The beanie can also be started with a magic circle.
● If you want to make it with a double brim you could chain twice the amount of
stitches when making the ribbing and fold over..
● Puff stitch edging measures 1.25”.
● 5 stitches for rib edging = 1”
● 7 stitches for rib edging = 1.25”
● 9 stitches for rib edging = 1.5”
