Round 21: On the end of the hat, slst into a st and ch 7 using your 4.0mm crochet hook.
Round 22: SK the 1st CH and BLOSC into each CH down the line. At the end of the row, anchor your row by SLST into the 2 SC of the main body of the beanie
Round 23: Turn your piece so that you will be working up. SK the 2 SLST you made and BLOSC up the row. At the end of the CH, CH 1 and rotate. Before you start to BLOSC down the row, skip the first CH.
Repeat rows 22 and 23 around the whole body of the beanie.
Turn the beanie inside out and SLST using the BLO. BO when finished & weave in your ends.
