EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN
DECREASE TIP-1:
Decrease can be done both from right and wrong side, knit stitches together from right side or purl together from wrong side.
DECREASE TIP-2:
To calculate how to decrease evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (75 stitches) and divide stitches by number of decreases to be done (e.g. 10) = 7.5. In this example work alternately every 6th and 7th stitch and every 7th and 8th stitch together.
FELTED HAT – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
Piece is knitted from the bottom up and back and forth on circular needle, sew together mid back and felt in a washing machine.

On next row decrease as follows: Work 9 stitches, * work 2 stitches together, work 14-15-15 stitches , work from -* 6 times in total, work 2 stitches together and work 8-9-9 stitches = 108-115-115 stitches. Work until piece measures 6-7-7 cm.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
On next row decrease as follows in the different sizes:

On next row decrease as follows:
* Work 2 stitches, work 2 stitches together, work 3 stitches, work 2 stitches together, work from -* 10 times in total, work 2 stitches, work 2 stitches together and work 2 stitches = 75 stitches. Work until piece measures 10 cm.

ALL SIZES
= 75-79-82 stitches, piece measures approx. 10-11-11 cm. Work until piece measures 36-39-41 cm from cast-on edge.
Now decrease as follows:
Decrease 10-11-11 stitches evenly – read DECREASE TIP-2! = 65-68-71 stitches.
Work 2 rows in stocking stitch.
Decrease 10-11-11 stitches evenly = 55-57-60 stitches.
Work 2 rows in stocking stitch.
Decrease 11-11-12 stitches evenly = 44-46-48 stitches.

Piece measures approx. 47-50-52 cm in total. Cut the yarn. Pull yarn through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten.
ASSEMBLY
Sew hat together mid back, sew in front loop of outermost stitch.
FELTING
The piece can be felted either in the washing machine or the tumble dryer – read description below.
Remember: Subsequent washes are as for a normal wool garment.
IN WASHING MACHINE
Washing machines will vary when felting. If the piece is not felted enough, it can be felted again. If it is felted too much, it can be stretched to the correct size while still wet.
DO THE FOLLOWING
Lay the piece in the washing machine, using a programme of approx. 40 minutes (not a wool programme).
Wash at 40 degrees without pre-wash, detergent is optional. After washing, shape the piece while it is still wet.
IN TUMBLE DRYER
Felting in a tumble dryer gives good control over the degree of felting. The tumble dryer can be opened during drying to check the size of the piece. If it is not felted enough it can be thoroughly wetted and felted again. If it is felted too much it can be stretched to the correct size while still wet.
DO THE FOLLOWING
Lay the piece in water so it becomes completely wet, then place it in the tumble dryer and begin the drying process. Dry to the desired size, checking regularly.
