Hipster Hat
Skein of worsted or DK weight yarn Size 10 double-pointed needles Gauge: 4 stitches = approx 1"
Cast on 75 stitches. If you need a larger or smaller hat, size your cast-on (up or down) in multiples of three (60, 63, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81, etc.). Note: once you start increasing and decreasing, you may not always end up with the correct number of stitches to “finish" the round in pattern. Don't panic. Do the last stitch before the marker with whatever the next stitch is supposed to be and then start your new round with the pattern as written. Place marker before you begin knitting in the round K two rounds, being careful not to twist your stitches \*K2, P2, repeat from \* until piece measures 2.5 inches long K one round \*K3, YO, repeat from \* to the end of the round (this will leave you with a row of “eyelets") K five rounds \*K4, M1 (using the backward loop method), repeat from \* to the end of the round K five rounds 5, M1 (using the backward loop method), repeat from \* to the end of the rour K five rounds M1 (using the backward loop method), repeat from \* to the end of the rounds K five rounds \*K5, K2TOG, repeat from \* to the end of the round.

Cut a tail and then your thread through the remaining stitches and pull tight. Weave in any tails. Create an icord (see YouTube for video) or get a length of ribbon. Run the icord or ribbon through the eyelet holes at the top of the “cuff" and tie a bow.
