This hat begins at the top with one triangle. One by one, triangles are picked up and knit to form the crown. Once the five triangles that form the crown are complete, the sides of the hat are picked up and knit down.

No seams. Top down. No double point needles. Knit the sides as long or short as you like.

Complete photo tutorials show how to make centered double decreases on right and wrong side rows. Detailed photos show how to pick up stitches for modular triangles.
