Step 1: Initial Measurements

1. Determine the size needed for the ice cap using a hat size chart.
   • Example: Adult medium size requires 48 cm circumference and 24 cm height.
2. Chain length must equal the height of the beanie (24 cm in this example).
   • Ensure the chain count is odd.

Step 2: Foundation Chain

1. Chain 35 (or desired odd count) to match your measurement.
2. Row 1: Start in the 2nd chain from the hook:
   • Work hdc into each chain across. (Total: 34 hdc).
3. Mark every 7th stitch to simplify future rows.
4. Row 2:
   • Ch 1, turn your work. Work sc stitches in BLO for the first 4 stitches.
   • Proceed with hdc in BLO for the next 7 stitches, ensuring markers are placed in the 7th stitch.
   • Work BLO hdc across all stitches except the last 4, where you complete the row with 4 sc BLO.

Step 6: Joining the Edges

1. Fold the work so both edges align with the wrong sides facing outward.
2. Using a slip stitch seam, join the edges.

3. Work the seam carefully to ensure no tension disparities.
