Knit 5 more rows then start decreases. (Note: If you would like a shorter hat, eliminate the knit rows of the decrease pattern). Switch to DP needles when circular becomes too tight.

Row 1: *Knit 6, K2tog * repeat to end of round
Row 2 and all even rows – KNIT
Row 3: *Knit 5, K2tog * repeat to end of round

8 sts remain. Cut yarn leaving a decent tail. Thread the tail through the remaining sts and close the circle.

Weave in all ends.
