Pattern for Hat

Assuming Chunky weight yarn, 4″ = 16 stitches:  Gauge is important!  Swatch first or it may not fit.

For sizes child/teen/adult and size 9 needles,  cast-on 64/80/88 stitches.  Place marker and join in the round.

Knit for 2 1/2 inches and then changed to white.

Knit 2 rows.

3rd Row:  k3 white, k1 orange, continue for the rest of the round

Rows 4 and 5: knit 2 rows with white

Row 6: knit 1 white, knit 1 orange, then for the rest of the round knit 3 white, knit 1 orange

Repeat Rows 4, 5 and 6 until hat is 8 1/2″ long

Then: k2tog
knit
k2tog
knit
k2tog

Break yarn and thread through remaining stitches and pull tight.  Weave in ends.

Shape Crown

Note: Change to double pointed needles when there are no longer enough stitches to work on circular needle.
Decrease Round: K8/9, K2tog
Straight round: K

Decrease Round: K7/8 K2tog
Straight round: K

Continue decreasing every other round in this manner until 8 stitches remain. Pull tail through remaining stitches to secure and weave in all ends.

Pompom – Optional but fun

If you like a faux fur pompom try here:  Etsy: faux fur pompoms

It is also fun to make your own yarn pompoms.  I like to use the Knitpicks Clover Pompom Maker.   For help use this guide.

I hope you enjoy knitting this fun hat!

Pattern for Cowl:

With size 9 needles cast on 71 stitches and join in the round.

k3, p3 around until 8” long.

Bind off and weave in ends.

Pin it!
