CO 72 STS, PM, join in the round.
Knit all rounds for about 7 1/2″ (19cm) or desired brim size. (Once I folded mine and seamed it, it was about 3 1/2” (9cm).
On the next round, fold the CO edge to the inside and knit each CO STS with each knit stitch. (Watch the video here.)
Knit 6 more rounds, or desired height of hat.
Note (Optional):
When the stitches get too tight switch to DPNs or a longer cable and knit using the magic loop method.

Round 2: *K*
