So you basically take your favorite hat pattern, making sure it will work out with the Mock 2X1 stitch with having 2 stitches on each end

I knitted up the rib, doubled up but you do not have to do it that way

I then transferred the stitches to the knitter and knitted Stockinet Stitch

Next I transferred the 3rd stitch to the next needle and then putting the empty needle out of work

Knitted up a few rows of this

Next I took the work off on WY and put 2 stitches on one needle to decrease in half and knitted up 5 rows

Then did another decrease in half, knitted 3 rows

Gather Bind Off and sew the seam
