I prefer the top of the hat to be less “scrunched”. In that case, I sometimes finish the top by
handknitting as follows (immediately after the 50 rows are finished) Take the stitches off on a circular
needle (size 4) and knit as follows:
R1 Knit 3 st. knit 2 together across row
R2 and all even rows Purl across
R3 knit 2, knit 2 tog across row
R5 Knit 1, knit 2 tog across row
R7 Knit 2 tog across
Knit one more row.
Run tapesty needle through remaining stitches and finish side seam.
OR
If you are proficient with the garter bar do the above decreases with the garter bar.
