GAUGE:

9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

HAT
Cast on 48 sts.
Rows 1-4: Knit.
Rows 5-12: Beginning with a RS row, work in St st.
Rep Rows 1-12 twice more, then knit 4 rows. Bind off.

FINISHING
Fold Hat in half and seam ends to make a tube. With seam at center back, flatten tube. Sew center back to center front with 2-3 sts. Bring center of 2 open sides to center and sew a few more sts to secure all layers.
