Knitted hat

I just finished knitting a large adult hat. 

I used a 5mm circular needle and combined strands of Lion Brand’s Re-Spun, which is a really thin 4 weight yarn (otherwise I would use a regular 4 weight yarn) … the colours are raven and amber.

I cast on 100 stitches on my 5mm circular needle, working in rounds (putting a marker at the beginning). 

Round 1 - (K3, purl 2) repeat to end

Round 2 - knit to the end

I repeated these two rounds for 34 rows.

Crown decrease:

2. Knit
