The Sunflower Starfish Baby Beanie

I want to say thank you all for your encouraging comments for both my baby beanie, and the Valentines headbands.

Since some of you were interested in the pattern, I thought I'd post it for you now before I get distracted with something else! ;)

Without further ado, I give you...

The Sunflower Starfish Baby Beanie

Fits from birth to 3 months approx.
Materials:
4 ply baby yarn (I used Cleckheaton Cocoon, that I had in my stash)
3.5mm Double Pointed Needles (The yarn wrapper says 3.25mm, but I tend to knit tightly with 4ply)
Stitch marker
Tapestry needle for sewing up the top of beanie

Cast on 100 stitches. I like the long tail method for this.
Place the stitches evenly over 3 of the DPN's and add stitch marker. (I place the first stitch on the last needle, and the last on the first, thereby crossing the threads and making a loop (you could also use circular needles if they are short enough).
Work 10 rows of 2x1 rib
Work 20 rows of knit stitch (stst)

(P.S. This is the first time I've ever written a beanie pattern - so if you find any glitches, please let me know.)
