Directions for Hat: CO 13 sts using a provisional cast-on method. Knit in Lace Leaf Panel Pattern until panel reaches at least 22.5 in $(57\mathsf{c m})$ in length, or is long enough to wrap around your head completely. Finish with Row 12. Unravel the provisional CO at beginning of panel, exposing the live stitches. BO using 3- needle bind-off method, binding off the stitches from the beginning of the panel and the stitches from the end of the panel together. This forms a consecutive ring of the lace panel. This is the bottom of the beanie. Pick up 72sts from the top of the lace panel. PM at the place where you bound off the Lace Leaf Panel Pattern. Begin knitting in Bobbled Lace pattern. Bobbles in this pattern are larger at the bottom of the hat than at the top, so that the bobbles at the top of the hat are more subtle. Use the following directions for making your bobbles: For bobbles in first pattern repeat: (there are two rounds with bobbles in first pat rep) Knit pat to MB: k1, p1, k1, p1 into next st, turn work. P4, turn work. K4, Turn work. P4, turn work. S1-k3tog-psso. Continue in pat. For bobbles in the rest of pattern repeats, including the decreases to close the top of the hat: Knit pat to MB: k1, p1, k1 into next st, turn work. P3, turn work. K3, Turn work. P3, turn work. S1-k2tog-psso. Continue in pat. Knit until piece measures at least 6 inches from bottom of panel (left side of panel) to live sts. End after Row 16 of Bobbled Lace Pattern. Begin the decreases for the top of the hat as follows. Number of sts at end of round is given in parentheses at end of rows. Row 1 and odd-numbered rows: Knit (72) Row 2: $\ast_{\mathsf{k}2}$ , sl1-k2tog-psso, k3; rep from \* (54) Row 4: $\ast_{\mathsf{k}2}$ , sl1-k2tog-psso, k1; rep from \* (36) Row 6: $\ast_{\mathsf{k}2}$ , sl1-psso, rep from \* (27) Row 8: \*k2tog, MB \* (18) Row 10: \*k2tog, k2; rep from \* (12) Row 12:\*k2tog, k1; rep from \* (8) Cut working end of yarn a few inches from stitches, and use darning needle to thread through live stitches. Tighten end of yarn so that stitches are pulled together and top of hat is closed. Weave in loose ends, and try it on!
