Required one ball in medium 4 – 100% Acrylic yarn – I used: Red Heart Soft yarn.

Cast on 80 stitches  on 16 inch (41 CM) number 6 (4.00 mm) circular knitting needles.

I prefer Clover Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles.

Rib (Knit 2 Purl 2) for 2 inches.

Change to number 7 (4.50mm) circular knitting needles and increase 1 stitch (to 81 stitches); continue knitting in stocking stitch for 5 inches.        With circular needles you knit each round.

To shape the crown.

Row  1 – Knit 7 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row  2 – Knit and every other round

Row  3 – Knit 6 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row  5 – Knit 5 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row  7 – Knit 4 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row  9 – Knit 3 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row 11 – Knit 2 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row 13 – Knit 1 stitches knit 2 together for whole round

Row 14 – Knit

Row 15 – Knit 2 together for the whole round

Break off enough to feed through remaining 10 stitches.   Turn inside out and pull yarn so the top comes nicely together.   Work in remaining yarn threads.

Ribbing measures 16 inches around;  stocking stitch at ribbing 19 inches around.   The top of the  crown to end of ribbing measures 9 inches.
