Ribbing of the knit hat:

Using smaller size circular needles, cast on 70 (80, 90) stitches or any other number that is divisible by 10.  Place marker and join in round. Rib k1, p1 until beanie reaches 13 cm if you want a folded brim, or 6 cm if you want a hat without brim.

Body of the knit hat:

Change to bigger size circular needles.

Round 1: [k2, pt, k1, pt, k2, p3] – repeat 7 (8,9) times.

Round 2: [k2, slip next 7 sts to the right-hand needle holding working yarn in back, (count ryo as one stitch), k2, p3] – repeat 7 (8,9) times.

Round 3: [C2(3)B, k1, C3(2)F, p3] – repeat 7 (8,9) times.

Round 4: [k3, slip next st to the right-hand needle holding working yarn in back, k3, p3] – repeat 7 (8,9) times.

Repeat Rounds 1-4 until work reaches desired length – 13-15 cm.

Before shaping the crown knit Round 1 one more time and don’t purl the very last stitch as we are going to decrease it right now.

Hello, I’m on round two and I’m confused. If I’m reading the pattern correctly, round 2 should add up to 126 stitches but we only have 90 from round one. Any suggestions for what to do about this? I’m a relatively new knitter so I might be getting confused.

Hi, You are right. Because you did petal in the Row 1. You did 3 stitches from 1. pt – petal: knit first stitch and do not slip it of the needle, ryo, knit one more time the same stitch and slip it of the needle.

And if did the right petal stitch you will have 126 sts for the biggest size in the next Row. Check video tutorial, it will help.

Can you help me on round 4?
I have exact stitches for round 3 (92), but when I finish round 4 I’m leftover with two stitches? I’ve restarted a few time and always get leftover.
Round 3 uses 92 st and Round 4 uses 90 stitches.

Would this work with super bulky 6 yarn and size 13 needles, and not double the yarn as you did?
