Harry Potter- Order of the Phoenix Hat

What a cool hat for all your Harry Potter Fans! I may have to knit one up! And a quote from Harry:

Tools: #7 Single Points, Tapestry Needle

Sizing: 22 stitches for babies, 66 stitches for kids & adults

Cast on/Brim (Kids Size/66 stitches)
Cast on 22/66 stitches and work 20 rows, knitting both ways to create garter stitch brim
Body of hat start stockinette and knit for 20 rows (for adult sizes, or for hats that need
to be more hat, less beanie, add another 20 rows, for a total of 40 before you start to
decrease for the crown.
Create crown (decrease)
Next row - knit 2 together, knit 1, knit 2 together
Next row - purl 2 together, purl 1, purl 2 together
Repeat above set 2 times

Leaving a really long tail, cut your yarn. Thread tail onto tapestry needle, thread through remaining stitches on needle and pull to close stitches together.
