Just a super simple, plain ole, sexy, stylish, slightly slouchy hat for any gender, age, or style persuasion.
st= stitch
K= knit
P= purl
K2tog= knit 2 st together
Ribbing- Size 10 16″ circulars Main Body- Size 15 16″ circulars
Cast on 54 st on size 10s (This will give you a hat to fit the average woman’s head.You can easily change the size of that by increasing or decreasing stitches by multiples of 4.)
K2, P1 (clustered rib st) repeated around for 10 rows
Switch to size 15s (I have the Denise interchangeable kntting set, so it’s super easy for me to switch needle sizes. I HIGHLY recommend getting one of these if you are a hardcore knitterbug! http://www.knitdenise.com/)
We’ll be finishing in stockinette st (just knit, no purling) I would also recommend using a stitch marker! It will make keeping to the pattern easier.
Knit about 6″-8″ and then we’ll start our decrease rows.
*K4, K2tog* repeat around
*K3, K2tog* repeat around
*K2, K2tog* repeat around
*K1, K2tog* repeat around (Be sure to leave about 4″6″ of tail before you cut the yarn)
Using a tapestry needle (or a crochet hook if you have to) thread the remaining tail through the knit loops. Pull tight, securely knot, and then weave in the remaining tail.
And there you have it! Easy peasy super simple very sexy slightly slouchy hat!
