This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up with no decreases for the crown. It is joined at the top with a three- needle cast off and optional tassels or pompoms are added at the points. Alternatively, this
hat can easily be worked flat by casting on half the number of stitches plus 2 for your chosen size. Make two pieces of this size and sew together on three sides.

This issue is on sale from 10th December in supermarkets, newsagents and craft stores across the UK and on our website. It will also be available digitally via our apps for Apple and Android devices and through Pocketmags here.
