Pattern notes:
Hat is worked in-the-round from ribbing to crown, in alternating bands of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitch. Stitches are increased just above the ribbing and are decreased at top of crown. A row counter is useful for keeping track of rounds in this pattern.
Special stitches:
Make one (M1) increase: make backwards loop of yarn over right thumb and place it on to right needle. Knit into this new stitch when you come to it on next round.
