Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in vibrant neon colors (neon pink, neon green, neon orange, neon blue)
• Needles: US Size 10 (6.0 mm) circular needles, 16-inch length
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Other Supplies: Scissors, tapestry needle, stitch markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Provisional Cast-On: Begin by making a provisional cast-on of 80 stitches using the neon pink yarn. Ensure that the stitches are not twisted when you join to work in the round.
2. Brim:
   • Round 1-5: Knit in 1x1 ribbing (k1, p1) for a snug brim. This means you will knit one stitch, then purl one stitch, repeating this pattern until the end of the round.
3. Vibrant Band:
   • Round 6-10: Switch to neon green yarn. Knit in stockinette stitch (knit all stitches) for these rounds to create a vibrant band.
4. Continue with Stockinette Stitch:
   • Round 11-15: Change to neon orange yarn and continue knitting in stockinette stitch.
   • Round 16-20: Switch to neon blue yarn and keep knitting in stockinette stitch.
5. Asymmetrical Shaping:
   • Round 21-25: Switch back to neon pink yarn. Knit 4 rounds in stockinette stitch.
   • Round 26: Knit 40 stitches, place a marker, then knit 2 together (k2tog) to decrease, and knit to the end of the round.
   • Round 27: Knit all stitches.
   • Repeat Rounds 26-27, decreasing after the marker every other round until you have 20 stitches remaining.
6. Finishing:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top of the beanie.
   • Weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Boho Chic Asymmetrical Neon Beanie. Enjoy wearing your vibrant creation or gifting it to a friend!
