Since John lost his first Jawnderson, we decided to use the extra yarn from my Aubrietia to make him a new one. I put it off for a while but since my little Asta is frustrating me, I decided to do a palette cleanser.

Pattern:

Son of Jawnderson
Size 7 circulars (used magic loop method)
Gauge (unblocked in 1X1 ribbing, not stretched) 22 sts/in and 6.25 row/in
Tight gauge to be worn with the cuff folded up by ~ 1.5-2 inches.

---

CO: 84 sts
Worked the body in 1x1 ribbing for 7.5 inches
Decrease by 4 sts every other row for 2.5 inches, decrease by 4 sts every row for 1 inch, k2tog for two rows, then gathering stitches and finishing hat.
