Instructions
This beanie hat is worked in the round so no seams.

Ribbed Cuff hem

With 7mm DPNs (US 10 -11) or circular needles cast on 60sts and evenly distribute stitches between
needles, join in the round. I used 4 DPNs with 1 working needle ( 15sts per needle) If you work a little
loose Id recommend going down a needle size or two for a tighter rib.

Mark the beginning of the circle.

Work in K1, p2 rib as follows;

Round 1: (P1, K2) to end
Rep this round until work measures 15cm/6in

Note the rib will be worked on the WS so when it is worn folded the RS is on the outside

Next round Inc: Continue in rib pattern and increase 12sts evenly across work until 72sts on needles.

Work in cable and moss (seed) stitch pattern as follows:

Round 1: (k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, K13) rep to end

Round 2: (p1, k1, p1, k1, p1, K13) rep to end
Round 3: (k1, p1, k1, p1, k1, C6b,k1, C6f) rep to end
Round 4: as round 2
Round 5: as round 1
Round 6: as round 2

pattern decrease for crown as follows:

Designers tip:
Try the hat on as you work, and add or decrease rows depending on your personal preference.

Sewing up (all sizes):

Cut yarn leaving a tail, thread this through a tapestry needle and pull through remaining sts on needle
dropping them off, pull tight and secure with a knot. Sew on optional pom pom.

Finishing
Block hat according to ball band.
