I knit a space invaders hat for D in red and blue. This hat fits much better than the Denver hat. I used size 11 needles, and cast on 55 stitches using double strands of a worsted weight wool (Stitch Nation Washable Ewe). I knit in k3,p1 for the first 4 rows, then continued knitting straight for the next 6 inches. This seemed like a great place to include a little color work! I then worked a standard decrease: Row1 k4, p2tog Row2 k3, p2tog Row3 k2, p2tog Row4 k1 p2tog Row5 p2tog Row6 bind off and bring thread through all holes and pull shut.
