PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.3.
DECREASE /INCREASE TIP (evenly spaced):
To work out how to decrease/increase evenly, count the total number of stitches on the needle (e.g. 104 stitches) and divide by the number of decreases/increases to be made (e.g. 8) = 13. In this example, knit each 12th and 13h stitch together when decreasing.
If you are increasing, make 1 yarn over after each 13th stitch. On the next round knit the yarn overs twisted to avoid holes.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the marker thread as follows: Work until there are 3 stitches left before the marker thread, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, knit 2 (the marker thread sits in the middle of these 2 stitches), knit 2 together.

HAT - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round with circular needle, bottom up. Change to double pointed needles when necessary.
HAT:
Cast on 104-112-112-120 stitches with circular needle size 2.5 mm with light grey. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 3 cm. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm. Knit 1 round where you decrease 8 stitches evenly on round in all sizes – read DECREASE/INCREASE TIP = 96-104-104-112 stitches. Work A.1 in the round (= 12-13-13-14 repeats of 8 stitches). On the round marked with an arrow, increase 0-1-1-2 stitches evenly = 96-105-105-114 stitches. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.1 has been completed, work A.2 in the round (= 32-35-35-38 repeats of 3 stitches). On the round marked with an arrow decrease 0-1-1-2 stitches evenly = 96-104-104-112 stitches. When A.2 has been completed, work A.3 in the round (= 12-13-13-14 repeats of 8 stitches). When A.3 has been completed, work stocking stitch with red to finished length. Continue working until the piece measures 16-17-18-19 cm. Insert 1 marker at the beginning of the round and insert 1 marker after 48-52-52-56 stitches (these markers mark the sides). On the next round decrease 1 stitch on each side of each marker – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 3rd round a total of 23-25-25-27 times = 4 stitches on needle in all sizes. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, pull tight and fasten well. The hat measures approx. 38-41-42-45 cm from the top down.
TASSEL:
1 tassel = Cut the desired number of strands of red (for example 30 pieces), each 20 cm in length. Then cut 1 red strand of approx. 23 cm to use to fasten the tassel with. Lay this strand across the middle of the other strands. Fold the 20 cm strands double and tie a new strand of red around the tassel (approx. 1½ cm from the top). Fasten the strands well and then sew the tassel to the top of the hat.
22 stitches in width and 30 rows in height with stocking stitch = 10 x 10 cm.
NEEDLES:
DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 3.5 MM.
CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 3.5 MM: length 40 cm for stocking stitch.
CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 3 MM: length 40 cm for rib.

CROCHET HOOK:
CROCHET HOOK SIZE 3 MM: for noses.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. The whole pattern is worked in stocking stitch.

HAT - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round with short circular needle; change to double pointed needles when necessary.
HAT:
Cast on 96-108-120 stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and red. Knit 1 round. Then work rib (= knit 2 / purl 2) for 3 cm. Change to circular needle size 3.5 mm and knit 1 round where you decrease 12 stitches evenly on round = 84-96-108 stitches. Then work pattern in the round according to A.1 (= 7-8-9 repeats of 12 stitches). REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! When A.1 has been completed the piece measures approx. 13 cm. Continue with light brown to finished length.
When the piece measures 14-14-16 cm, insert 6 markers in the piece with 14-16-18 stitches between each one.

HAT - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
First a lining is worked, which is later folded up and sewn to the wrong side at the bottom of the hat, then a folding edge is worked before working pattern onwards. The hat is worked in the round with circular needle; change to double pointed needles when necessary.
HAT:
Cast on 96-102 (108-114-120) stitches with circular needle size 3 mm and red. Work A.1 (= 6 stitches) a total of 16-17 (18-19-20) times in width (= lining). When A.1 has been completed, the piece measures approx. 5 cm. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
The next round is worked as follows with off white: * Knit 2 together, 1 yarn over *, work from *-* over all stitches (= folding edge). Knit 1 round (the yarn overs are not knitted twisted). Then work A.2 (= 6 stitches) a total of 16-17 (18-19-20) times on the round.
When A.2 has been completed, the piece measures approx. 13 cm (including 5 cm lining). The piece is now finished with red. When the piece measures 22 cm (including 5 cm lining; or continue to desired length, there is approx. 18-20 (20-23-25) cm left to work), work 1 round where you decrease 6-2 (8-4-0) stitches evenly on round = 90-100 (100-110-120) stitches. Then insert 10 marker threads in the piece with 9-10 (10-11-12) stitches between each one.
On the next round decrease 1 stitch after each marker thread – read DECREASE TIP (= 10 stitches decreased).
Decrease like this every 8th round a total of 8-9 (9-10-11) times = 10 stitches. Work all stitches together 2 and 2 = 5 stitches. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, pull tight and fasten well. The hat measures approx. 40-42 (42-45-47) cm (including lining).

GARTER STITCH (worked in the round):
1 ridge = 2 rounds. Knit 1 round and purl 1 round.
EDGE (for hat with striped edge):
Work * 1 ridge in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above, with white, 1 ridge with red *, work from *-* 4 times in total, work 1 ridge with white = 9 ridges.

DECREASE TIP (evenly):
To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 76 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 4) = 19.
In this example, decrease by knitting every 18th and 19th stitch together.
