Needles:
US2 / 3mm (or size to obtain gauge) 16” circular needles or longer for magic loop method
*** If you tend to be a tight knitter, I would recommend one size bigger needles for casting-on and work the first round.

One set of US2 / 3mm DPNs (or size to obtain gauge)
Cable needle suitable for the needle size

Tools / Notions:
11 (12, 13) stitch markers (stitch markers are optional. They can be helpful when placed between chart repetitions)
*** I would recommend the stitch marker placed at the beginning of the work looks different from the others. This st marker indicates the beginning of a new round.
Darning needle

Notes:
Tashi is worked circular and from the bottom-up. The rib with cables stitch creates a snug fit and negative ease.
If you like the beanie more slouchy, repeat chart rounds 27 to 46 three or four times.
