Let's start!

The video shows how to begin

The woolen hat is knitted from the top. Due to this kind of knitting you can try and check every time whether the cap fits. The pattern repeat has 20 stitches. In the video, it is knitted 5 times. But you can also knit the pattern 4 times if you don't need so many stitches.

I've started with 10 stitches, knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over... until you have finished the row.

Then knit one, knit one through back of loop, knit one, knit one through back of loop... Now you have 20 stitches.

Again, knit one, yarn over, knit one... until you have finished the row.  

Then knit one, knit one through back of loop, knit one, knit one through back of loop... Now you have 40 stitches.

Now take the stitch marker:

Knit 8, yarn over, stitch marker, continue until you have reached the end of the row.

Then knit 8, knit one through back of loop, knit 8, knit one through back of loop... When you have finished, you should have 45 stitches   

Now:

Knit 9, yarn over, stitch marker, knit 9, yarn over, stitch marker... Now you have 50 stitches.

Go on until you have 60 stitches. Then continue with a 3.5mm double point needle set until you have 100 stitches.
