Itty Bitty Batty

The pattern for this lil guy is now available in my etsy store!

The Rosette Beanie

I designed this pattern and then my coworker asked for a version made in red, which features alterations to the original pattern. I called it the rosette because the motif on the top reminds me of stained glass windows.

tr9tog: y/o twice, insert hook in stitch, pull through, y/o and pull through twice, repeat in next 8 st, y/o and pull through all loops on the hook

I used an H on hers and I think an I on the one pictured.

Row 1: ch 4, 11 dc in 4th chain from hook (12 dc)

Row 2: make 2 sc in each st around (24 st)

Row 3: *ch 12, sc in next 2 st, repeat from *

Row 4: make 16 sc in each loop

After this row, changes were made the pattern. The red version will show these changes as compared to the teal.

Row 5: sl st to 4th sc (switch colors here if you wish), sc in 8 st, *ch 3, sk 8 st, sc in 8 st, repeat from *

The chain three between loops was not in the original pattern

Row 6: sl st in next 5 st, ch 4 tr8tog, ch 16, skip 2 st, tr9tog

It was originally tr8tog but I had to make allowances for the extra stitched made by the chain three spaces

After row 6, everything is as it is in the original pattern
Row 7: (switch colors again if desired) ch 3, make 19 dc in ch 16 space, *20 dc in next ch 16 sp, repeat from *
Row 8: (switch colors again if desired) 4 sl st, *12 sc, sk 8, repeat from *
Row 9: sl st to 5th st, ch 3, dc in next 3 st, *ch 4, skip 8 st, dc in next 4 st, repeat from *
Row 10: sc around
Row 11: (switch colors again if desired) dc around
Rows 12-15: sc around (I alternated colors every other row)
