At this point you may continue back at row 1 until you get your desired length or begin decreases. I made this for my fiancee so I only had to do rows 1-48 once, you may stop at any time and begin the decrease rows if you decide to continue. As you complete the decrease rows you will want to again alternate colors every 2 rows.

Cut Yarn leaving a long enough tail to sew up seam. Thread it through the remaining stitches and pull tight then sew up side seam. Enjoy!

Just had to tell you how much I love your patterns. Going to make this one for sure not sure who I will give it to. I love knitting things and surprising people with them. Knitting is my life I have been knitting for 47 years.

Cute hat! I just finished knitting one last night and my sons are fighting over it.
Thanks for sharing this great pattern!
I've made a hat now, but it's a gift and I won't share it on my blog just yet...
Also, there may be a possible error on row 26, I think it should read *Slip 1,
Thanks again and keep knitting!
Best,
Liisa

Quick questions: 1.)do you continue to work the established pattern while decreasing...or do you just knit 2 rows in color A while decreasing, and knit 2 colors in B while continuing to decrease... 2.) does the pattern read correctly as DR1-knit 19 then decrease accordingly and then on DR2- knit 8?
Thank you so much!
I am needing a hat RIGHT NOW for a son who hates his haircut, and this one is perfect.
You rock!

I just finished this hat and its my favourite was fun to knit- it came out great, especially I love the decrease pattern at the top. Just made it for my husband in the last of my black & grey wool and he's wearing it now. Thanks for all your great patterns!
