Note: Since it is easy to lose or gain
stitches during

stitches on each needle if using dpns. If
using a
circular needle place stitch markers evenly
spaced,
making sure there is a multiple of 3
stitches between
markers.

if it seems
to point toward the bottom of hat, you can
pin in
place. Weave in ends. Eat it or wear it!

Stitch gauge: 25 stitches = 5 ½” 6 rows = 1”





Cast on 270 stitches. (I know it seems like a lot, but the brim is
quite
frilly)

*K
8, K 2 tog* repeat from * * for 1 round.



Continue in this manner, gradually decreasing number of K stitches,
switching to DPNs when necessary, until you have only 6 stitches
remaining.


Leave about 6 inch tail, and using sewing needle, run tail through
the
remaining 6 stitches, and pull tight to close hole.

Provisionally cast on 20 stitches.

Row 1: (K1, P1) three times, K8, (P1, K1) three times
Row 2: (K1, P1) three times, P8, (P1, K1) three times

Repeat these two rows until your piece measures about 20”. Remember
that this will have some stretch to it so if your adult’s head is small,
you may only want to work 18 or 19 inches.

Undo your provisional cast on and slip these stitches to another
needle. Join your edges in whatever way you’re most comfortable with
(see info in gneral formula above). You can get away without the
provisional cast on by just casting on in your normal fashsion and
beginning to knit. When you get to where you want to join the ends,
simply pick up the first cast on stitch and knit it together with the
first stitch on your needle. Pick up the next cast-on stitch and knit
it together with the next stitch on your needle, etc. This makes a
slightly bulkier seam, but is perfectly do-able.

Now, pick up 48 stitches around the crown of the hat.

Round 1: Knit
Round 2: *K2tog, K4*, repeat around (40 stitches)
Round 3: Knit
Round 4: *K2tog, K3*, repeat around (32 stitches)
Round 5: Knit
Round 6: *K2tog, K2*, repeat around (24 stitches)
Round 7: Knit
Round 8: *K2tog, K1*, repeat around (16 stitches)
Round 9: Knit
Round 10: K2tog, repeat around (8 stitches)

Finish off as described above in the general formula.

Make a braid using four strand of yarn for each section (12 strands
all together).
Make a short, fat tassel and attach to the braid.
Thread a tapestry needle with yarn and attach the braid to the top of
the hat, bring yarn ends to the inside, tie off and weave in.

See materials and gauge requirements for general formula above

Provisionally cast on 16 stitches.

Row 1: Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K2, P1, (K1, P1) across, end K1
Row 4: Purl
Row 5: (K1, P1, across, end K2
Row 6: Purl

Repeat these 6 rows for pattern to a length of about 16 inches - a
couple of rows more or less, depending on the head size of your target
child, won’t be a problem

Undo your provisional cast on and slip these stitches to another
needle. Join your edges in whatever way you’re most comfortable with
(see info in gneral formula above). You can get away without the
provisional cast on by just casting on in your normal fashsion and
beginning to knit. When you get to where you want to join the ends,
simply pick up the first cast on stitch and knit it together with the
first stitch on your needle. Pick up the next cast-on stitch and knit
it together with the next stitch on your needle, etc. This makes a
slightly bulkier seam, but is perfectly do-able.

Now, pick up 40 stitches around the crown of the hat.
