Kids' Caps

At a knitting evening a couple of weeks ago a friend showed me what looked like a pretty easy cap pattern, but I have no idea what it's name was/is or where it came from. I think it seemed a bit historic, from the 70s or even earlier. It looked like you cast on an appropriate number of stitches divisible by three and then knit for a while -- the specified number of inches were appropriate for adult hats -- and then did a decrease row, knit one knit 2tog to the end of the row. And then...

Well, and then I am not sure, because I had sort of forgotten by the time I got around to knitting the hats. I knit a plain row and then a decrease row three times and then did some kind of decrease row every row until there were few enough stitches that I could just gather them up.


It is not my favourite hat, but on the other hand neither is it my least favourite. I have been thinking of trying a few more (I'd love to get my eyes on the pattern at least one more time). I think it might be fun to add a few beads to the yarn for a bit of bling.
