About this template
The 32-column, 26-row sketch places ribbing, colour accents and decrease symbols around four lanes. The fixed-width rows do not form a stitch-counted crown and must not be worked as an unchanged repeat. Use a tested hat construction to determine the decreasing counts, reading direction, depth and final closure.
Make it yours
Change the rib depth, space the decrease rounds, or fit a stitch repeat between the decrease lanes while keeping each round's stitch count internally consistent.
