I have a friend who lives in Tampa for college, and the weather has been a bit chilly for Florida, so she asked for a hat and scarf. This is the hat.

*K3tog, k(n-1), yo* around, where n equals
the number of stitches used in the last
round. Example sequence:
*K3tog,
k13, yo*
*K3tog,
k12, yo*

Continue
in this way until 18 stitches remain.
The
pattern:
CO
110 stitches with smaller needles. Work 1x1
rib for 14 rows or about 1½
inches.
Using
the larger needles, work *k3, m1* around for
one round, ending with 150 stitches.
Work
*K2tog, k13, yo* for 24 rounds or about
4 inches from the brim. At this point,
begin decrease formula.
Knit
1 round; k2tog for one round, then cut
thread and draw through all remaining loops.
Finish by weaving in all ends, washing,
blocking, etc.
Enjoy!
