Hat with a beautiful poppy and needles

Workflow:

We knit around with elastic 1 x 1 about 27 cm.

Then we divide the cap into 2 parts: the front and the back (it won't be possible to divide evenly due to the elastic, you'll understand why when you start knitting).
In the center of each part, we set aside 3 stitches with markers (knit + purl + knit). We do not touch them at all!
We start to form a vertical "path".

For this, for 3 stitches of the FRONT and BACK "path", we knit together with the YARN. It turns out that in the row, we decrease a total of 8 stitches in 4 places.
We make similar decreases in the BACK ROW until about 10-14 stitches remain. We cut the yarn. We gather the stitches. That's all.
