Cavit Crochet Beanie Free Pattern Notes:

Beanie is crocheted in the round from the brim to the crown with color work done by changing yarn every other round.
Carry the yarn up the inside of your hat without having to cut it every time you change color.
For a pony tail hat, stop working two rounds before finishing round. Fasten off and weave in ends.

For smoother decreases, do an invisible sc2tog:
