• Step 1

  As described in the Magic Loop Tutorial (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/blog/how-to-knit-a-magic-loop), cast on 49 (55, 61) stitches (this includes the "one extra"), transfer the last stitch round, place a stitch marker in front of it and knit it together with the first cast on stitch. Now work as follows:
  
  Round 1: You've just worked a k2tog, now work k1 *p1 k2* to last stitch before the marker, p1. You should have 48 (54, 60) stitches now.
  
  Round 2: *k2, p1* to end of round.
  
  Repeat Round 2 six more times. This is working "k2 p1 rib" in the round. Your knitting should measure about 3.5" from the cast on edge.

  Step 2

  Now work as follows:
  Round 1: knit all stitches
  Round 2: *p2tog* to end of round
  Round 3: *k1fb* to end of round. (The picture shows how to knit into the front and the back.
  Round 4: knit all stitches
  
  Repeat these four rounds until that hat measures 7 (8, 9)" from the cast on edge.

• Step 3

  Now work decreases as follows:
  Round 1: *knit 6 (7, 8) k2tog* to end of round
  Round 2: knit
  Round 3: *knit 5 (6, 7) k2tog* to end of round.
  Round 4: *knit 4 (5, 6) k2tog* to end of round.

  Cut the yarn leaving a 12" tail. Thread an embroidery needle onto the end and slip all the stitches onto the tail. Pull tight and sew over the little hole at the top of the hat. Use the long tail to secure a pom pom (made using the Quick Pom Pom Tutorial - http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/blog/how-to-make-a-pom-pom) to the top of the hat. Weave in any loose ends.
