http://kodymayknits.blogspot.com try the http://kodymayknits.blogspot.com/2007/11... All you have to do is where it says K2tog, you put the needle into two stitches at once, and knit them both at the same time like this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBpbLmgwH... Good Luck

Answer 2

If you are running into problems understanding what to do with the last few stitches on the needles, here's what to do.  First you need a yarn needle, this is generally a blunt tapetry needle with a large eye.  These may be metal or plastic, but they are usually sold where you get knitting needles and crochet hooks and notions.  Then cut the yarn from the ball leaving 6 to 8 inches of a tail from the work.  Now thread this tail in the yarn needle and use the needle to take the tail into each of the remaining stitches in turn.  It is best to do this in a circle at least twice.  Then pull on it gently to snug everthing up tight, taking the needles out of the stitches first.  Lastly, run the tapestry needle and remaining yarn to the inside of your hat and on the inner side weave the yarn in and out of the stitches on the inside for a couple of inches, then clip the yarn off close to the inner surface.
