Ornamental Hat (to match sweater)

Continue using Fergus Yarn Co. sock yarn mini.  Cast on 22 stitches evenly on 2.25 DPNs.  Knit 10 rows of 1x1 ribbing (K1, P1 repeated).  Then knit 10 rows of stockinette (knit entire rows).

Row 11:  (decrease row) *K3, K2TOG* repeat until 2 st left then knit last 2 st.

Row 12 – 16: knit

Row 17: ( decrease row) *K2, K2TOG* repeat until 2 st left then knit last 2 st.

Row 18 – 22: knit

Row 19: (decrease row) *K1, K2TOG* repeat

Row 20 use final st to make i-cord for as many rows as is pleasing, decreasing by knitting first two st together whenever you feel it looks like a good time (depending on how long a tail you want on your hat).  Bind off when desired length is reached.  I added a tassel – you can have a tassel, make a pompom or have nothing attached to the end.
