----------------------------------------------------------

HAT:
The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles. Loosely cast on (72) 80-96-104 (112-120) stitches with double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and BabyMerino. Work 4 RIDGES – see description above. Change to double pointed needles size 3 mm, knit and decrease 8 stitches evenly on round = (64) 72-88-96 (104-112) stitches. Then work pattern in the round according to A.1 (= a total of (8) 9-11-12 (13-14) times in width). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.1 has been worked 1 time in height the piece measures approx. 7 cm. Continue working in garter stitch. When the piece measures (10) 11-12-14 (14-15) cm – adjust so that the next round is a knitted round, decrease as follows: Decrease (7) 8-8-8 (8-10) stitches evenly on every 2nd round (i.e. every knitted round), a total of (6) 6-6-6 (7-7) times = (22) 24-40-48 (48-42) stitches. On the next knitted round, knit all stitches together 2 and 2 = (11) 12-20-24 (24-21) stitches. Purl 1 round and repeat the decrease on the next knitted round in sizes 3/9 - 12/18 months (2 - 3/4) years (do not decrease any more stitches in the other sizes) = (11) 12-10-12 (12-11) stitches. Pull a double strand through the remaining stitches, pull tight and fasten well. The hat measures approx. (13) 14-15-17 (18-19) cm in total.
