Using 11 (8mm) circular knitting needles with a 16” (40cm) cable
CO 44 STS, PM, join in the round
Rounds 1-17: *K2, P2*

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 37: [(K4, K2TOG x2) K5, K2TOG] x2 K4, K2TOG (-7 STS 37 STS remaining)

Round 41: [(K2TOG x2) K1, K2TOG] x2, K2TOG (-7 STS 9 STS remaining) (remove stitch markers as you come to them)
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.
