These hats are quite addictive to make. All you need is one 100g ball of chunky and a faux fur pompom. I cast on 74 stitches using a 6mm circular needle and join in the round. Knit 36 rounds of Knit 1 Purl 1 rib. On the 37th round fold the brim in half and knit (or purl because we're keeping in pattern!) each stitch with the corresponding stitch from the cast on round. This is the trickiest round and you do have to concentrate but after this it's plain sailing. Another 29 rounds of knit 1 purl 1 rib and then we come to the decrease rounds. This next round knit 2 together the whole round (37stitches). Knit 1 round (37 sts). Knit 2 together to last stitch of round, knit the last stitch (19sts). Knit 2 together to last stitch of round, knit the last stitch (10sts). Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Using a yarn needle thread the yarn tail through the remaining 10 stitches and pull tight. I like to thread it through a few times to make sure it's really secure. Weave in ends and add faux fur pompom. Ta-Dah!! job done
