YO SPIRAL HAT

YO SPIRAL HAT (LARGE)
I used Softball Polished Cotton with a # 8 circular needle.
Cast on 88 stitches. Join to work in round, being careful not to twist. Put a marker to indicate the beginning of a round.
Knit 3rounds plain.
Next round, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * to end.
Next round, Knit
Next round, K5, K2tog, yo, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * until 1 stitch remains, K1
Next round, Knit
Next round, K4, K2tog, yo, *K6, K2tog, yo and repeat from * until 2 stitches remain, K2

Continue this way, shifting the pattern row over one stitch each time, till about 5” from cast on, with the edge slightly rolled.

Begin decreases:
