Riley's hat is finished! Lucky guy!
This is a great all-round pattern which fits everyone and is printed here compliments of Mareeknowscraft.
150gm approx of 8 ply (dk) knitting yarn for adult size (less for kids)
3.25mm and 4mm knitting needles, wool needle.
A. Adult size cast on 130 stitches
C. Child size cast on 120 stitches
B. Baby size cast on 100-110 stitches
Cast on required number of sts for size you want, using 3.25 mm needles.
Knit in single rib (1 plain, 1 purl) for A 20cms, C 15cms, B 10cms.
Change to 4mm needles, continue knitting in single rib until beanie measures: with the band rolled up double from your ear lobe to crown.
Commence decreasing, knit two together to end of row, purl two together until end of row, continue these last two rows until 6 - 8 sts remain.
Break off yarn leaving a 50cm tail of yarn. Thread onto wool needle, and pass through remaining stitches from knitting needle. Pull firmly to draw tightly together. Sew seam with remaining tail.
Remember to swap sides when you get to needle change place to allow your seam to be on the inside when you double roll back the band.
Finish with a pom pom, tassle or button if desired.

wait.. I have sportsweight listed as 4/5ply and 8 ply as worsted. which would make sense for the needle size they use.
I wish there was a world wide convention on all of this.
