  • Step 1

    Gauge:

    For cozy: 18 sts and 20 rows = 4 inches.

    For hat: 12 sts and 16 rows = 4 inches.

  • Step 2

    Using circular needle, CO 32 sts. Work 2 rows in garter stitch.

    K2, yo, k2, *m1, k2. Repeat from * to end. (47 sts).

    Knit 5 rows.

    K2, yo, k4, m1, *k3, m1. Repeat from * to last 2 sts, end k2. (62 sts).

    Knit 5 rows.
