CO 40 STS, PM, join in the round.
Rounds 1-20: *K1, P1*
Note (Optional):
When the stitches get too tight switch to DPNs or a longer cable and knit using the magic loop method.
Decrease for the crown (stitch markers are optional):
Round 21: *K2TOG, K1, P1, PM*
Round 22: *K2TOG, K1, SM* (20 STS remaining)
Round 23: *K2TOG, remove stitch marker* (10 STS remaining)
End:
Without binding-off, cut the yarn leaving a 10” (25cm) tail, pull it through the remaining STS, push through the top hole to the inside and then weave in the ends.
Block:
To block this hat I use a saucer. Like a teacup and saucer. ;) I put it inside the hat, so the bottom “swirl” is in the center of the saucer and the saucer is bulging outward, spritz it with some water, pat dry with a clean towel and let it dry overnight.
