Work 12 inches stocking stitch depending on how long you want your hat. (I like mine to cover my ears, so I
worked 2 inches.)
1
Decreases
With RS row facing, place 8 stitch markers evenly spaced across the row.
I use a little formula to figure out where I want to place the stitches. If x is the total number of stitches, and
y is the number of decrease points I want to have, then, I place the first marker at x/2y stitches, and each
subsequent marker every x/y stitches.
For this hat, on my head, with 8 decreases (since the stitch pattern is 8 stitches large), that means I place a
marker after the eighth stitch, and then every 17 stitches after that. There are 9 stitches between the final
marker and the end of the row.
K to 2 sts before marker, K2tog, sl marker, sl1, K1, psso* repeat across. Finish row.
Continue this decrease every 5th row until 24 sts remain.
K1, No-Slant Decrease 7 times, K2tog.
Work 2 more rows stocking stitch.
Finishing
With live stitches still on needle (preferably a circular needle), stretch and block out hat with a wet towel and
hot iron.
Break off enough yarn to sew up, then draw the yarn through the remaining 8 stitches to form a circle and close
the top and sew the side together.
