This pattern is written as a tutorial for a first in-the-round knitting project for someone who already knows how to knit and purl. To make this hat, you’ll need one 16” circular needle in size US 5, one 16” circular needle in size US 6, and one set of double pointed needles, also in size US 6. Ideas are also given for modification, such as making the pattern slouchier, or the decrease more gathered, and it is also suitable for more advanced knitters. :)
