A HAT FOR THE USS DECATUR

Hat One, size L-XL (model's head is 24 inches)
Yarn: Berrocco Pure Merino Superwash, probably about 2 balls
Size 8 needles, cast on 92 stitches, K2, P2 for 7 inches.
Decrease round: K2, P2TOG
Knit 5 rounds in pattern
Decrease round: K2TOG, P1
Knit 3 rounds in pattern
K2TOG one round
Follow pattern for 1 or 2 rounds
K2TOG one round
Reduce until there are about 6 stitches left, cut yarn, thread through live stitches, finish loose yarns.

This was easy once I got the hang of it. I completely knit one hat, then tried to unknit it by snipping a stitch--wasn't long enough to cover the ears. Long story short, what should have been an easy undo/redo WAS NOT. It was faster to start at the beginning.
