My niece made (dyed, spun, and knit) an awesome hat for my sister, so I decided to try a hat for myself with some similar yarn that she gave me.

CO 96 stitches (with a twisted german cast-on). Knit K2P2 for about 9 inches (I would like to have gone a bit longer, but I was running out of yarn). Reduced in pattern in ten rows. I cut it really close…only about a yard or so left!
