Pattern:
Hat:
The hat is knit in open rsr and wsr.
Cast on 70 st plus 2 est in col. 2 and knit 4 cm (= 7 r) in cuff pattern, begin with a wsr. Continue knitting hat in relief pattern. In 13 cm (= 36 r) from cuff pattern, finish the hat as follows:
37th r: est, 4 st ri, * k tog. 3 st ri, 9 st ri, from * rep. another 4 x, k tog. 3 st ri, 3 st ri, est (= 60 st)
45th r: est, 2 st ri, * k tog. 3 st ri, 7 st ri, from * rep. another 4 x, k tog. 3 st ri, 3 st ri, est (= 48 st)
49th r: est, 2 st ri, * 3 st ri zu. k, 5 st ri, ab * rep. another 4 x, k tog. 3 st ri, 1 st ri, est (= 36 st)
53rd r: est, * k tog. 3 st ri, 3 st ri, rom * rep. another 4 x, k tog. 3 st ri, 1 st ri, est (= 24 st)
55th r: est, always k tog. 2 st ri est (= 13 st)
Pull together these remaining 13 st with the working yarn. Close the back seam as flat as possible and make a pompom (approx. 9 cm) in col. 1. Sew the pompom onto the hat.

Loop:
The loop is knit in open rsr and wsr.
Cast on 104 st and 2 est in col. 1 and k 1 wsr ri st. Continue knitting the loop in relief pattern. At 36 cm high (= 101 r), end with a 4th pattern row, k another 2 r ri st and then c off the stitches straight, thereby k le st.
