Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of orange, pink, and deep red
• Needles: US size 8 (5mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Stitch Marker: To mark the beginning of the round
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Make sure to leave a long enough tail for weaving in later.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your stitches in the round, ensuring that they are not twisted. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Brim:
   • Rounds 1-8: Work in *K2, P2* ribbing for the brim. This will create a snug fit around your head.
4. Colorwork Transition:
   • Round 9: Switch to stockinette stitch by knitting all stitches. Begin your colorwork here.
   • Rounds 10-20: Continue in stockinette stitch, alternating colors every 5 rounds. Start with deep red for rounds 10-14, then switch to orange for rounds 15-19, and finish with pink for round 20.
5. Asymmetrical Shaping:
   • Round 21: Start the asymmetrical shaping by knitting 48 stitches, then place a marker. Continue knitting to the end of the round.
   • Round 22: Knit to 2 stitches before the marker, then K2tog (knit two together), slip the marker, and knit to the end of the round.
   • Round 23: Knit all stitches.
   • Repeat Rounds 22 and 23 until you have 24 stitches remaining on your needles.
6. Finishing:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches).
   • Thread the tail through the remaining 24 stitches and pull tight to close the top of the beanie.
   • Weave in all ends securely using the tapestry needle.
