STEP ONE:
you'll need a charming assistant, and a large, skewer...

[TiNi]

STEP TWO:
place dml beanie on the end of skewer, and carefully extend it into the fire
...and yes, the size of your skewer DOES matter in this case...

...and yes, the size of your skewer DOES matter in this case...

Despite reports to the contrary, the size of the skewer always matters.

[TiNi]

STEP THREE:
lower the beanie directly into the flames for about 45 seconds, there is some kind of fire retardant in the knit, so be patient  

[Shortie]

Despite reports to the contrary, the size of the skewer always matters.

The size of the skewer is all relative to the size of the place you're putting it, but carry on...

The size of the skewer is all relative to the size of the place you're putting it, but carry on...

And to go any further than this would get us scolded.

[TiNi]

STEP FOUR:
once the beanie has burst into flames, pull your skewer out of the fire, and enjoy the show!

He looks like he was contemplating grabbing it with his hand in that pic.

[TiNi]

Despite reports to the contrary, the size of the skewer always matters.

a small skewer would not support the weight of the beanie, or keep you far enough away from the flames  

The size of the skewer is all relative to the size of the place you're putting it, but carry on...

And to go any further than this would get us scolded.

biposto is clearly referring to the bonfire, lethe... sheesh
