Shameless Demne Copy-CAP

Here's a hat pattern that incorporates some of the Demne design elements: Yarn: Approximately 68 yards of any DK yarn that yields gauge. Gauge: 22 sts and 30 rows to 4 inches in stockinette stitch. Needle: US 6 (4 mm) (or size to meet gauge). Notions: Button.
Abbreviations:
K -- Knit Sts - Stitches K2tog -- Knit 2 together P -Purl Yo - Yarnover
Pattern stitches:
Seed Stitch (on straight needles with an odd number of stitches): Every row: (K1, P1) to last stitch, K1. Roman Stitch (in the round with an even number of stitches): Rows 1, 2, 3 & 4: K to end. Row 5: (K1, P1) to end. Row 6: (P1, K1) to end.
