I didn’t like the look of the Galaxy yarn on these size needles so I held it double with some black sport-weight yarn from my stash. I lost the ball band ages ago so no idea what it is!
Based on uncia’s version of this hat.
Knit your basic beanie. Since I didn’t want to do the button band bit, I CO 69 (hee hee) sts in the round and knit until my contrast yarn ran out, switched to the main colour and knit until the hat measured around 5in. I evenly decreased 5 sts (k2tog) in line with where my next decreases would be (i.e. k8 k2tog), knit one row plain and then decreased according to the pattern.
I then picked up 71 stitches (don’t know why I got two extra, but never mind) and began knitting down in moss stitch.

Next, I increased (kfb) every 10 stitches, so I had 7 evenly spaced increases. I knit 1 row in pattern, then added a M1 or M1-p between any stitched put out of pattern by the increases. I ended up increasing 11 stitches over these three rows. I wanted my brim longer so knit a couple more rows in pattern, then did another round of kfb increases, this time every 8 stitches. I ended up with 95 total, knit 1 row in pattern and bound off.

I know these notes aren’t very clear, but they may help someone!
