I used Lion Brand yarns – Wool-Ease – Thick & Quick   6 Super Bulky 79% Acrylic,  20% Wool, 1% Other Fiber   140 g / 5 oz

It’s machine washable and dryable; comes in great colours, very warm.  It can be quickly knit up in a evening.

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.
