I made this pumpkin hat in three sizes because I never want Charlie to outgrow it! Too cute (and super easy). For a 2T size, I knit 72 stitches on size 6 double pointed needles and made it about 6" tall. Because it is an even number of stitches and your knitting in the round, it makes a stockinette stitch. Then I tapered in by knitting 1 and knitting together 2 for a couple rows. I did a i-cord at the top to make the stem with brown and added a few leaves with green yarn. To make the leaves I cast on 2 stitches increased until I had twelve across using a garters stitch (knitting every row). I knit a few rows and then decreased back down to 2 stitches and casted off. Sorry the directions are vague, I am better at winging it than following patterns.
