 Body

Switch to larger needle. Knit one round working the stitches as presented
(knitting the knits and purling the purls). Work rounds 1-65 of the chart, repeating
the chart six times per round, or follow the written directions below. Switch to
DPNs or magic loop when necessary.
For a less slouchy hat: Omit the odd numbered rounds from round 37-61 (this will
result in working a cable every round).

 Chart Notes

Follow every round

from right to left.
Repeats are
between the red
lines.

On rounds 25 and
60, reposition the
marker to the red
right-side border to
mark a new
beginning of round.

On the last repeat of

round 31, move the
marker to the blue
line for a new
beginning of round
(you won’t work the
last two stitches).
