Knitted Cozy Hat

Hi Friends,

I have just completed a purple hat made from Loops and Threads cozy wool yesterday.  I started knitting the hat in September, but then it got really busy with school and it got put aside. There was only decreasing to do to complete the hat, so it was a quick finish last night.  Here it is below! And I used the same pattern as a previous post with a few changes. There is ribbed stitch which is knit two, purl two at the bottom, then it is knitting through the rest of the hat. 

Pattern:

1. Cast on 2 stitches for every inch of the person's head or depends on your gauge (my head was 22 inches around so I casted on 44 stitches)

2. K2, p2 all the way around until ribbing is the length you desire.

3. K all the way around until hat measures 6" - 7" then start to decrease

4. To decrease: divide your hat up into groups of 8 stitches and put markers.  Decrease by knitting two stitches together in each group once you reach the marker and then knit the rest of the stitches.

 5. Do this until you arrive at 4 stitches and cut your yarn about 6" then pull the yarn through the stitches with a crochet hook or darning needle then weave the remaining yarn down through the top of the hat.

As always thank you for visiting! 
Happy Holidays!
