Cairo Hat Pattern

Cairo Hat is a close fitting hat worked in a textured stitch pattern of moss stitch pyramids evoking the monumental pyramids of Egypt.  It is worked in the round from the bottom up with a brim of broken rib.  The stitch pattern is simple enough for a beginning knitter that is ready to try following a chart, but at the same time keeps the work interesting for an intermediate knitter.

Skills Needed:
knit
purl
k2tog
ssk

Materials Needed:
180-220 yards of worsted weight wool yarn

1 US 6 / 4mm 16" circular needle
1 set US 6/ 4mm double pointed needles
