Various hats

i havn't updated this b log for about a year - been busy..
today i finished Tabitha's handdyed handspun made up onion hat

used 4mm needles on main bit but i think 3 mm or less for rim.
cast on 70 st and then knit about 5 rows - change to larger needles and then increased every other st after one row. then knit what ever stripes and then at about 3 inches up increased every fifth st and knit 6 rows and then decreased every fifth st corresponding to the increased. a couple of rows later started decreasing every 6 st, knit 1 row - dec every 5 st , knit 1 row and then i think i knit a couple of rows between each dec row and then every 4, 3, 2 , 2, 1 but with varrying knit rows between to create nipple
