Curlicue Hat Pattern for Kids

This is my modification of an old-time favorite pattern

Knit with 1/2 skein Modern Ewe Ocean Palette

1 Skein of Modern Ewe will make two kid-size hats for ages 4 - 10

Size 8 Circular (16") and size 8 Double point needles

Gauge:    4.5 sts = 1 inch Stockinette Stitch

Cast on 80 sts, join stitches and knit all rows until hat measures 6" long.

Begin Decrease Rows as Follows:

Row 1:    K8, K2 tog

Row 2:    K

Row 3:    K7, K2 tog

Row 4:    K

Row 5:    K6, K2 tog

Row 6:    K

Row 7:    K5, K2 tog

Row 8:    K

Row 9:    K4, K2 tog

Row 10:    K

Row 11:    K3, K2 tog

Row 12:    K

Row 13:    K2, K2 tog

Row 14:    K

Row 15:    K1, K2 tog

Row 16:    K 

Row 17:    K2 tog around, leaving 4 sts for first I-cord curlicue.  Knit 4 remaining sts without turning work to form I-cord--knit to desired length--bind off and weave in tail.

Cast on 4 sts and make additional I-cords for top of hat--weave in one tail--leave the other end of I-cord and use to sew in place on the top of hat.   Repeat this step and add as many as your hat needs--They're fun! 

Hat may be finished without any I-cord curlicues at all by just binding off all sts.
