Rnd 2: *K1, p1b. Rep from * around.

Rep Rnds 1 – 2 for pattern until work measures desired length from cast-on row. Sample shown was 9 1/2 for a slightly slouchy fit on my slightly larger than average lady head, go shorter for more of a beanie, longer for extra slouch.
Crown Shaping:

Change to DPNs; make sure to place marker on a stitch instead of the needle if you haven’t yet.

Cut yarn leaving a 10” – 12 tail for sewing up.

Thread the cut end through a tapestry or yarn needle.

Thread the tapestry needle through all 12 remaining sts.

Pull into a tight circle, fasten off and weave in that end on the inside of the hat.

Weave in starting end.
