This is the sort of hat I knit late at night when I can’t think of a pattern that I really want to knit and I know I have enough of the yarn to knit a full hat. There’s about 3 inches of ribbing and then the hat is knit around and around until I am ready for the decreases, and then work a series of rounds of knit two together around interspersed with plain rounds to decrease quickly. The ribbing is deep enough to hold the hat firmly in place, but the hat is also very large size (almost 24 inches around) so it will fit loosely.
