Ever felt
that the hat you have knitted is draftee? Here is one solution, you make two
hats in one piece and then fold one into the other thus it looks as it is only
one hat.
Be sure
that you have fasten of every loose thread before you finish of since you can´t
reach the inside.
My gauge is 19 stitches per 10 cm. And I have used 4mm needles.
To make sure your hat fits just your head make a test piece so you see how
many stitches there is per 10 cm and then measure your head and calculate the amount
of stitches you need. But remember that the structure patterns is divided by
four.
You start
with the inner hat.
1: cast on
6 stitches
2: knit to
in every stitch (12)
3: knit one,
knit to in one (18)
4: knit two,
knit to in one (24)
5: knit
three, knit to in one (30)
6: knit four,
knit to in one (36)
7: knit
five, knit to in one (42)
8: knit
six, knit to in one (48)
9: knit
seven, knit to in one (54)
10: knit
eight, knit to in one (60)
Now you
will increase in the same way every other round until you gain 96 stitches.
Knit until
you have reached 12 cm
Now you will
knit two and pull 2, in 3 cm.
Now you
pull 2 and knit 2 thus pulling over the knitted stiches and knit over the
pulled stitches. This makes it easier to fold the hat into one.
Then knit over
knitted stitches and pull over pulled stitches in 3 cm.
The structure
pattern I have used is divided by four. V stands for knitted stitches and X for
pulled stitches.

When you
have reached 14 cm (measure only the structure part) you will start to decrease
stitches. As you have noticed the second hat is two centimetres longer than the
first one this is because it has to be bigger so that the first one will fit
inside.
You
decrease every other round
Knit 14,
knit two together
Knit
Knit 13,
knit two together
Continue until
you have 60 stitches then you decrease every round.
