Pattern, Knit in the Round:
Using a 16” cable, or DPNs
CO 42 STS, PM, join in the round
Rounds 1-42: *K*, approx. 12” {30cm}
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:
Round 43: *K5, K2TOG, PM* {-6 STS, 36 STS remaining}
Round 44: *K4, K2TOG, SM* {-6 STS, 30 STS remaining}
Round 45: *K3, K2TOG, SM* {-6 STS, 24 STS remaining}
Round 46: *K2, K2TOG, SM* {-6 STS, 18 STS remaining}
Round 47: *K1, K2TOG, SM* {-6 STS, 12 STS remaining}
Round 48: *K2TOG, remove stitch marker* {-6 STS, 6 STS remaining}
End:
Without binding-off, cut the yarn leaving a 10” 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.
