Can Someone please help me? No, not mentally yet, but right now it might help.jk.Anyway, I recently learned how to knit and am doing pretty well, but don't know how to knit in a circle to create a beanie. I was hoping someone would be able to help. Please!

Like another person said, you need either double pointed needles or a circular needle.
Here are some videos for circular knitting:

However, if you are looking to knit a hat, you can still knit one without circular knitting. For example, here is a pattern for a hat knit on straight needles:

Good luck!

You need either double-pointed needles or circular needles to knit in a circle. You actually knit in a spiral rather than a circle. Cast on your stitches onto 3 of the 4 needles, making sure that you don't twist the stitches. Start knitting right where you started casting on and just go around, decreasing according to your pattern.

If you know how to knit - just cast on as many stitches as your pattern says then turn the same way as you would on two needles. Then when you have finished the row, turn the needle upside down. You'll find that you will be knitting another row without combining the two. I hope you get me

http://www.knittinghelp.com is a great site with video tutorials for practically everything, including circular knitting, which is what you're referring to.
If you're just looking to make a beanie though, you can easily knit that flat-- they are mostly just a rectangle until you get to the crown, where you decrease until you're left with just a few stitches, and then you sew the seam closed with the remaining yarn. You can find a really basic hat pattern here: http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt08.htm to make it a little more interesting, you can try using a self-striping yarn or alternate yarns to make stripes.
Hope that helps
