2. perfect for practicing mindful knitting while on the go. We have used 3 mm circular knitting needle tips from our Mindful Collection and combined them with a 14” short swivel cable that moves along with your knitting even when crafting the tighter rounds toward the top of this project. For a one-fits-all size, cast on 162 stitches. We have used the Italian cast-on method. Knitting the first two rounds in the double knitting technique is an option to create a sturdier edge.

3. 1st ROUND: * Knit 1 stitch, slip the next stitch as if to knit to the right needle. Make sure to hold the yarn in front of the work.) *Repeat from *until the end of your round. 2nd ROUND: * Slip the first/next stitch as if to knit to the right needle (with the yarn at the back of the work), purl 1 stitch *, and repeat.

4. Knit in a rib pattern until your project measures 24 cm. Now, place 3 stitch markers evenly distributed throughout the circumference of your hat. Make sure each marker is placed in a purl stitch. Decrease on both sides of your markers in every 2nd round: Knit your 1x1 ribbing pattern until 5 stitches remain before the marked stitch, knit 2 stitches together (2ktog.), knit the next 7 stitches in the rib pattern, slip 2 stitches on your working needle as if to knit, then slip them back and knit them together (SSK). Repeat these decreases at each marker. Decrease until your piece measures 29 cm. Then, decrease every round until there are 24 stitches left. Knit 2 stitches together throughout the next round. Thread your yarn through the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight, and weave in the tail securely.

The artistry continues while crafting the brim, which is crocheted separately, only to be united with your hat body through subtle slip stitches.
