Shaping the crown of knitted hat:
Round 1: k2tog around - 40 sts.
Round 2-3: knit stockinette stitch around - 40 sts.
Round 4: k2tog around – 20 sts.
Round 5: knit stockinette stitch around - 20 sts.
If you cast bigger or smaller number of stitches than 80 in the beginning, then you can get bigger or smaller number of stitches on needles respectively. In case you get more than 20 stitches on needles – repeat rounds 4 and 5.
When you finish the Round 5, then leave a long tail (up to15-20 cm) and cut the yarn. Next, use a hook or a tapestry needle and thread the tail through the last remaining stitches on four needles. After that remove needles from stitches and pull tight to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside of the hat and weave it in into the back side of our stitches.
