  Begin decreases as follows:
  Knit 6 stitches, Knit 2 together. Repeat this pattern across (a total of ten times.).
  Purl across the back.
  Knit 5 stitches, knit 2 together. Repeat this pattern across (a total of ten times.)
  Purl across the back.
  Knit 4 stitches, knit 2 together. Repeat this pattern across.
  
  
• 4). Continue working the pattern as a set: knitting 1 less stitch before knitting two together, each front side row. The last row should be Knit 2 together, 10 times.
  
  
• 5). Finish the cap by sewing up the back seam. Break your yarn, leaving a long tail to sew up the back seam. Thread the yarn onto the yarn needle. Slip live stitches off the knitting needle and onto the yarn needle, and pull up tight. Turn the hat inside out, and stitch up the back seam. Tie off your ends and trim them neatly. Turn the finished hat rightside out and your done!
