Grinchmas Hat

New Hat Pattern: I'm Dreaming of a White Grinchmas

Gauge: 20 stitches and 26 rows over 4 inches on larger needles.
Supplies: #2 (circular or dpn) #5 (dpn) or size to obtain gauge. 1 10-inch piece of wire (around 20 gauge).

On #2 Needles, CO 104; join being careful not to twist.

Work in K2P2 Rib for 1.5 inches.

Change to #5 Needles and continue in stockinette until the hat measures 5 inches from the CO edge.

Begin Decreases:

Row 1: *K11, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 2 and all even rows: K all stitches.
Row 3: *K10, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 5: *K9, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 7: *K8, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 9: *K7, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 11: *K6, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 13: *K5, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 15: *K4, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 17: *K3, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 19: *K2, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 21: *K1, K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 23: *K2tog, *repeat to end.
Row 25: *K2tog, *repeat to end. (There will be 4 stitches remaining.)

Move all stitches to one needle to set up for an i-cord.

Bend the ends of the wire into loops to prevent them from poking through. Hold the wire in the back of the knitting as you knit an i-cord. Knit the i-cord to the end of the wire. Bind off and weave in ends. Bend the i-cord into a curl.
