Knit Beanie

does anyone know how to knit a beanie?

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and he was telling me how he needs a new beanie. I was wanting to knit one for him. I have never knitted before, but I found some videos on the internet and I think I could learn. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites or patterns to knit a beanie. Also, if the patterns could be rather easy, that would be awesome! Thanks!

Materials:
- 1 skein worsted (Aran weight) wool, main colour (MC) [FYI: I used Rowan Magpie MC Brown, CC1 Cream, CC2 Rust]
- Odds and ends worsted weight wool for a couple stripes-Contrasting Colours 1 & 2 (CC1, CC2)
- Circular needle, 4.5 mm (U.S. 7)
- 4 dpn’s, 4.5 mm (U.S. 7)
- Marker or loop of yarn
- Darning needle for sewing in ends

Gauge:
20sts and 28 rows = 4 inches on 4.5 mm circular needle

Read: If you’re concerned about “colour jogs” (an uneven spot where colours join), please see Sarah Bradberry’s helpful link at http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/tips/jogless.htm
Method:
Cast on 72 stitches onto circular needle. (Note: If you know how to do a Cable Cast On [found in most books or mags] the bottom looks much nicer!)

Being careful not to twist stitches, place marker, join knitting and work K2, P1 ribbing for 10 rounds.

Round 11: *k8, inc 1, repeat from * (Total stitches on circular needle should now be 81)

Knit 10 rounds of MC.

Knit 2 rounds CC1

Decrease Round 1: *k7, k2tog, rep from *

Decrease Round 2: *k6, k2 tog, rep from *

Decrease Round 3: *k5, k2 tog, rep from *

NOTE: At this point, the reduced number of stitches may make working on the circular needle difficult. Transfer stitches to the dpn’s and carry on as though you were still working with the circular needle.

Decrease Round 4: *k4, k2 tog, rep from *

Decrease Round 5: *k3, k2 tog, rep from *

Decrease Round 6: K2tog all the way around

Knit one row even

Finishing:
Leaving tail, cut yarn and thread through darning needle. Run needle and yarn through all remaining stitches (don’t miss any!) and pull tight. Run needle through the “donut hole” at the top so that it’s inside of beanie. Darn in all ends.
