Kufi Knitting Pattern

Tired of gauge swatches?  Want to knit a hat with your choice of yarn weight and needle size?  Try this top-down, no gauge kufi hat knitting pattern.  You can knit a traditional hat that covers the ears, or a kufi-style (above the ears).  Because you knit from the top down you can try-on and adjust as you go!  Experiment with stitch styles and borders, too.  This pattern can be made for any head size from baby to adult.

I used Berroco Jasper merino wool, color: Verde Lavras 3833, and  size 6 dp and circular needles.  You can choose your own yarn and needle size with this pattern.
