Warm Ribbed Winter Hat

Because of this, I decided to make her a really warm hat that she could wear while she works. I used two skeins of Cascade Pastaza in navy blue. The ribbing makes the hat stretch or contract to fit just about anyone. 
 
Cast on 88 sts on size 7 16-inch circular needles.  Attach, avoiding any twists.

K4, P4 around until hat measures 11 inches.

Decrease as follows (change to size 7 double-pointed needles when hat gets too small for the circular):

Row 1: K4, P2 tog, P2 around.

Row 2: K4, P3 around.

Row 3: K2 tog, K2, P3 around.

Row 4: K3, P3 around.

Row 5: K3, P1, P2 tog around.

Row 6: K3, P2 around.

Row 7: K1, SSK, P2 around.

Row 8: K2, P2 around.

Row 9: K2, P2 tog around.

Row 10: K2 tog, P1 around.

Row 11: K2 tog around.

Break the yarn and pass the end through the remaining stitches.  Sew in ends.
