Beginner Pattern Instructions
CO 44 STS, PM, join in the round.
All rounds: *K1, P1* for 14”, or desired length.
No decrease for the crown in this version.
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.
Blocking:
I didn’t block my hat, but if you want to block it, here’s how I block hats:
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.
Advanced Beginner Pattern Instructions
CO 44 STS, PM, join in the round.
