Size:
· 2-3 years old toddler

The whole hat is knitted flat and then it is sewed.
Cast on 104 stitches in red using the two 4mm needles together, the idea is to get a very loose first round. Change to 3.5 mm needles.

Break and pass the yarn inside the remaining 20 stiches; sew the sides using the slipped stich at the beginning of each row.
Notes for beginners and Continental style knitters:
· ssk and skp decreases produce the same result: at the decrease the stich pass over the left one · k2tog decrease produces a decrease in the other direction: over the right stich · if you knit Continental style, then the decreases are just the opposite, but I think you are used to this problem with all these patterns and tutorials mainly in American knitting style
