Repeat row 52 until 8 stitches remain. Cut yarn, leaving 12-14” tail, use tapestry needle to thread live loops onto tail. Tighten. Tie off and weave in end of yarn.

The reason the row of K1, P1 ribbing exists is to act as a brake to stop the stockinet roll.

This is a very basic hat. If you want or need a longer hat, just knit a few more rows after the last stripe before starting the decreases.

The blue hat and cream hat are made with Homespun yarn. The black hat with sparkles is Wool-Ease Chunky and is a tighter fabric using size 10.
