Notes
You can decrease using DPNs or the magic loop method. I use the magic loop method so my instructions will have my preferred method in more detail. Use whatever method works best for you, it shouldn’t change the outcome.
The Pattern
Using US 6 needles cast on 100 stiches in Color A
Join in the round, and place your stitch marker
Still in color A
RND 1 -15 *K2,P2*
Switch to US 7 needles for the remainder of the hat
Switch to color B, this is the color you will use to work the rest of the hat
Rnd 16-37 Knit all stiches
Before starting RND 37 I switch to a longer cable by knitting all the stiches onto the longer cable, rather than slipping all the stiches.

Cut your yarn leaving a tail long enough to pull through your remaining stiches.
Weave tail in through remaining stiches being careful not to drop any. Once you have your tail pulled through your remaining stiches you should be able to pull the yarn tight and you will see the hole at the top close.
Once the hole is closed pull the yarn tail through the very center though to the inside. Now that your tail is on the inside turn the hat inside out and knot off your yarn and then weave in your remaining ends.
