Favorite Kids Hat Pattern

      Material:Heavy Worsted Weight yarn ,size 8 needle
 
     Cast on 64 sts onto about a size 8, 16" circular needle. Join.
      Next round: Purl, placing a marker at the joining st.
      Next round: Knit
      Repeat these two rounds, 2X more = 3 garter ridges made.

      Now, begin knitting all stitches, (stockinette st). Continue knitting 
      around until piece measures 5" from start.

      Begin crown shaping:
      rnd 1: *K6, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 2: K all sts
      rnd 3: *K5, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 4: K all sts
      rnd 5: *K4, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 6: K all sts
      rnd 7: *K3, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 8: K all sts
      rnd 9: *K2, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 10: K all sts
      rnd 11: *K1, K2tog*, repeat to marker
      rnd 12: K all sts

      To finish: remove marker. K2tog around until only 6 sts remain. Break off 
      a length of yarn and thread it through a yarn needle. Draw the needle
      through the last 6 sts and pull up tight. Secure yarn tail and weave in 
      beginning and ending piece of yarn.

      I made three of these over the weekend. You can do one in about 3 hours.
      Great for charity!
