Instructions

This hat is knitted in circular rows. Start by casting on:

• 96 sts for size 6 months
• 108 sts for size 12 months
• 120 sts for size 24 months
• 132 sts for size 48 months

Knit with red yarn for:

• 13 rows for size 6 months
• 17 rows for size 12 months
• 20 rows for size 24 months
• 25 rows for size 48 months

Next, knit according to the scheme and add the green yarn for:

• 12 rows for all sizes

Start knitting the top of your hat with the green color. After the 1st row of the green color top, begin making decreases in every 2nd row:

• 8 sts for size 6 months
• 9 sts for size 12 months
• 10 sts for size 24 months
• 11 sts for size 48 months

This will reduce the stitches to:

• 48 sts for size 6 months
• 54 sts for size 12 months
• 50 sts for size 24 months
• 55 sts for size 48 months

Continue making decreases in each row:

• 8 sts for size 6 months
• 9 sts for size 12 months
• 10 sts for size 24 months
• 11 sts for size 48 months

Knit with green color for:

• 10 rows for size 6 months
• 10 rows for size 12 months
• 12 rows for size 24 months
• 12 rows for size 48 months

Make decreases until there are 4-5 sts left on the knitting needle. Create a 3 cm "tail". Finally, bind off the stitches to complete your hat.
