Required two balls 50 g / 1.75 oz in light  3 – 100% Acrylic yarn  – I used: Patons Astra yarn.

With two strands of yarn cast on 40 stitches on 16 inch (41 CM) number 11 (8.00 mm) circular knitting needles. I prefer Clover Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles.

Rib (Knit 2 Purl 2) for 6 inches.

Change to 16 inch (41 CM) number 13 (9.00 mm) circular knitting needles, continue in stocking stitch until work measures 8 1/2 inches in length.

To shape the crown:

Row 1 – Knit (k) 8 Slip 1 knit-wise(sl1k) Knit(k) 1 Pass Slip Stitch Over (psso) continue until end of row

Row 2 and every other row  – Knit

Row 3 – k7   sl1k   k1   psso continue until end of row

Row 5 – k6  sl1k    k1   psso continue until end of row

Row 7 -k5   sl1k    k1   psso continue until end of row

Row 9 -k4   sl1k    k1   psso continue until end of row

Row 11 -k3  sl1k   k1  psso continue until end of row

Break yarn, leaving a long end, draw through remaining 16 stitches.  Pull through top inside the toque.    Work in ends.

Works up in a few hours.   Enjoy!
