Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches for that round or row. Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds. The ch 2 in the beginning of each round DOES NOT count as an hdc. You slip stitch on the first hdc not on top of the ch 2.

NOTE: Dont F/O if you would like to put earflaps in your beanie just continue on
with making them. If you dont want earflaps then skip the earflap, edging and braids portion and continue on with making the spots.

1st Earflap with beige; 5.0mm

Row 1: ch 1, sc in next 12 sts, ch 1, turn (12) Row 2-3: sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn (12) Row 4: sc2tog, sc in next 8 sts, sc2tog, ch 1, turn (10) Row 5: sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn (10) Row 6: sc2tog, sc in next 6 sts, sc2tog, ch 1, turn (8) Row 7: sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn (8) Row 8: sc2tog, sc in next 4 sts, sc2tog, ch 1, turn (6) Row 9: sc2tog, sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog, ch 1, turn (4) Row 10: sc2tog, twice (2) F/O and weave in ends.

2nd Earflap with beige; 5.0mm

Count to the right 23 sts. Attach yarn on 24th st, ch 1, sc in next 12 sts, ch 1, turn. Continue with rows 2-10 just like in the 1st earflap. Dont F/O, continue making the edging.

EDGING with beige; 5.0mm

sc in each st around; working evenly around each earflap. Remember to mark your round with a stitch marker. Join with a sl st in the 1st sc to give it a nice even finish. F/O and weave in all ends.

BRAIDS
Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 36 inches long. Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Braid the strands and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way. I use 3 strands of each in blue, beige and white; you can use just one color or any combination you like.

SPOTS with white; 4.0mm; make 4

Rnd 1: 8 hdc in magic ring, sl st into the 1st hdc (8) Rnd 2: ch 2, 2hdc in same st you sl st, *2 hdc in next hdc*, repeat from * to * around, sl st into 1st st (16)

Rnd 3: ch 2, 2hdc in same st you sl st, hdc in next st, *2 hdc in next st, hdc in next st*, repeat from * to * around, sl st into 1st st (24) Rnd 4: ch 2, 2hdc in same st you sl st, hdc in next 2 sts, *2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 2 sts*, repeat from * to * around, sl st into 1st and 2nd st (32) F/O and weave in all ends.

ASSEMBLY
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the
yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).

Spots sew them around the beanie between rounds 7 and 14. Space them out about 1.75 apart or play around with the spots and see the position you like them best. Eyeswill be done with felt. With black felt cut 2 oval shapes. With the white felt cut 2 very small ovals. The black ovals, glue them between round 19 and 23. Space them about 1.5 (approx. 5 stitches). The white ovals glue those on the top center portion of the black ones.

Have a nice crochet time! - Janet
