You'll need 3 to 4 oz. of worsted weight yarn, get 16 if you want to add matching scarf (I'll
share the pattern for that when we are all done). *Size 7 or 8 - 16" circular needle (whatever gives you gauge)
*
yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing on your pocket.

For an adult cast on 80, child 72,
toddler 64 stitches . Being careful not to twist your stitches, join.
Knit all rows until piece measures 7" adult, 6"
child, 5 " toddler . If you are making this for a boy, add four rows of Knit one row, purl next row or 4 rows of your
choice of ribbing so the bottom doesn't roll.

For knitting on straights, work same as above but purl on your
even rows. Fasten off top, same as above then weave your side seam using a mattress stitch.
Pockets:
Make 2
The pockets are done in seed stitch . I've used size 8 needles and cast on 12 stitches.
Row 1: K1 , P1
across
Row 2: P1, K1, across
repeat those two rows for 3" . Work 2 more rows in Knit only
Bind off as if to knit.
Leave a tail long enough for sewing on the pocket
The top of the pocket is worked as follows
Cast on 12
stitches (leaving a long enough tail for sewing)
work 6 rows of seed stitch.
Decrease rows.
Keeping in pattern
knit or purl 2 together at the end of each row until only 3 stitches remains. Work about 1" of I-cord. Form into a button
hole loop. Fasten off.
Dividing hat in half, pin a pocket on each side up about 2" from the bottom.. Sew on
using a mattress stitch. Match pocket top directly above and sew across the top seam. Add a cute button to the
pocket bottom and you are all done.
