Handspun Hat

I had no idea what to make with my first handspun yarn. It was a bulky raspberry and cream 2-ply yarn. I was using Corridale, which was easy to spin but a bit too scratchy to wear next to my skin. I had just enough yardage for a hat.
As a note, after rows 1 and 2, the row number I give is no longer accurate. The cast on, decreases and increases can be your choice. They don’t add a particular design element so just use your favorite.

Materials:
Size 11 Needles
Bulky Yarn- I used handspun
Pom-pom maker-optional
Hat is knit flat them seamed up the back.

Row 1. Knit row
Row 2. Purl row
Repeat rows 1 and 2, 4 more times.
3. Knit row, decreasing 4 times evenly across the row (knit 2 together works just fine)
4. Purl row
Repeat 3 and 4 once more.
5. Knit row decreasing 4 times evenly across
6. Purl row decreasing 4 times evenly across
Repeat 5 and 6, 3 more times
Knit 3 together 4 times.
Bind off and gather top row of stitches, leaving a yarn tail long enough to sew up the seam.
On your starting edge, pick up 50 stitches.
