Instructions:
Hat: (differing information for size M/L in brackets)
This hat is knitted open in the RSR and BR
Cast on 38 (42) ES and knt. garter right between the ES, start with a BR. In 13 (14) cm (= 21 (23) R) drop between the ES as follows:
22nd (24th) R: knt. tog. ri the 9th and 10th S, as well as the 20th and 21st S (each 6th and 7th S). (= 38 S)
26th (28th) R: knt. tog. each 5th and 6th S. (= 32 S)
30th (32nd) R: knt. tog. each 4th and 5th S. (= 26 S)
32nd (34th) R: knt. tog. each 3rd and 4th S. (= 20 S)
34th. (36th) R: always knt. tog. 2 S ri. (= 11 S)
Knt. the R inbetween garter right without drops.
Pull the working threads 2 x through these 11 S and pull the S together. Close the back seam as flat as possible.

Loop:
Cast on 27 S plus 2 ES and knt. garter right between the ES as follows:
1. R: ES, pick up 1 S (= knt. 1 S ri interlaced from the cross stitch ) until 3 S before row end, drop 1 S. (= knt. tog. 2 S ri), ES
2nd R: ES, knt. all S ri, ES
1st - 2. always rpt. R
In 135 cm (= 164 R) total height, prepare 2 buttonholes in a RSR as follows:
ES, pick up 1 S, 3 S ri, 1 yov, knt. tog. 2 S ri, 7 S ri, 1 yov, knt. tog 2 S ri., 7 S ri, 1 yov, knt. tog. 2 S ri, 2 S ri, drop 1 S, ES
Knt. all S and yov ri in the following BR.
Knt another 6 R an co. the S straight in the following RSR.
Attach the buttons to the start of the loop to fit the buttonholes.
