         Note: I’m including instructions for my color scheme in [] but feel free to use whatever color combos you like, alternating every four rows, every other row…  or maybe not at all. I used Heirloom Merino Magic yarn from Australia, but most worsted weight yarns will do- just check your gauge. While it doesn’t matter if the body of the hat is loser, you don’t want to the rim to be too baggy (or tight).

            Yarn

Four colors of a lightweight wool or cotton yarn [Green (A), Purple (B), Orange (C), Red (D)]

            Gauge

5 sts/1 inch on size 10 needles

            Needles

16″ circular needles, size 6 and size 10

 Double-pointed needles, size 10

            Ribbing

C.O. 100 stitches to the 6-inch needles [with A]

Knit a 1 x 1 rib in the round (*K1, P1, repeat from *) until you have completed 10 rows, or about 1½”

            Body

Change to the size 10 needles

[Still using A], *K3, inc, into the next stitch, repeat from * until you have completed one row

Knit  32 rows of stockinette stitch (knit every stitch in the round), or until the hat measures 6″, not including the ribbing [4 rows B, 4 rows C, 4 rows D, 4 rows B, 4 rows C, 4 rows D, 4 rows B, 4 rows C]

           Decrease

[change to A] *K3, K2tog, repeat from * until you have completed one row

Switch to double-pointed needles

*K2, K2tog, repeat from * until you have completed one row

*K1, K2tog,  repeat from * until you have completed one row
