Depending on how you feel, you may also want to do a final decrease row of k2tog.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-8073452996299543462021-09-27T04:35:45.280-07:002021-09-27T04:35:45.280-07:00Here you go.

I had to change a few of the stitches, and I may have accidentally reversed the cable from the wrong side, but you'll notice if I did so you can fix it.<br /><br />So let's make a hat! First, then, using your size 9 needle, cast on 67 stitches loosely. Then we'll knit some edging rows, as follows:<br /><br />Edging Row 1 (wrong side): p1, * p1, k1, p2, k1, (p1, k1) four times *, end p1<br /><br />Edging Row 2: k1, * (p1, k1) four times, p1, k2, p1, k1; rep from *, end k1<br /><br />Knit this edging row until piece measures just over 1" and you’ve just finished a right side row. Then we'll knit the following transition row:<br /><br />Transition Row (wrong side): p1, * p1, k1, p2, k1, (p1, k1) twice, purl front and back of stitch, k1, p1, k1 *, end p1 (72 stitches)<br /><br />Once you've knit this row, switch to your size US 10.5 circular needle. Then, we'll begin the main pattern, as follows:<br /><br />Row 1 (right side): k1, * p1, (yo, k2tog) three times, p1, k6 *, end k1<br /><br />Row 2: p1, * p6, k1, (yo, k2tog) three times, k1 *, end p1<br /><br />Row 3: k1, * p1, (yo, k2tog) three times, p1, slip next 2 stitches to cn and hold in back, k2, k2 from cn, k2 *, end k1<br /><br />Row 4: p1, * p6, k1, (yo, k2tog) three times, k1 *, end p1<br /><br />Row 5: k1, * p1, (yo, k2tog) three times, p1, k6 *, end k1<br /><br />Row 6: p1, * slip 2 stitches to cn and hold in back, p2, p2 from cn, p2, k1, (yo, k2tog) three times, k1 *, end p1<br /><br />Knit rows 1 - 6 five times (or more, if you want a slouchier hat), and then we'll begin the decreases. So let's continue like so:<br /><br />Decrease Row 1 (right side): k1, * p2tog, p1, yo, k2tog, p1, p2tog, k6 *, end k1 (62 stitches)<br /><br />Decrease Row 2: p1, * p6, k2, yo, k2tog, k2 *, end p1<br /><br />Decrease Row 3: k1, * p2tog, yo, k2tog, p2tog, slip next 2 stitches to cn and hold in back, k2, k2 from cn, k2 *, end k1 (52 stitches)<br /><br />Decrease Row 4: p1, * p6, k1, yo, k2tog, k1 *, end p1<br /><br />Decrease Row 5: k1, * (p2tog) twice, k6 *, end k1 (42 stitches) <br /><br />Decrease Row 6: p1, * slip 2 stitches to cn and hold in back, p2, p2 from cn, p2, k2 *, end p1<br /><br />Decrease Row 7: k1, * p2tog, k6 *, end k1 (37 stitches)<br /><br />Decrease Row 8: p1, * (p2tog) twice, ssp, k1 *, end p1 (22 stitches)<br /><br />Decrease Row 9: k1, * p1, slip 1 stitch cn and hold in back, k1, k1 from cn, k1 *, end k1<br /><br />Decrease Row 10: p1, * p3tog, k1 *, end p1 (12 stitches)<br /><br />Knit decrease rows 1 - 10. Clip yarn tail and, using your tapestry needle, thread it through final 12 stitches. Pull tight, thread to inside of hat, and knot. Seam from bottom and tuck in ends.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-51439170595511671192021-09-25T21:45:49.461-07:002021-09-25T21:45:49.461-07:00Can you pls share this on straight needles.
