One of the options for decreasing the stitches at the crown of the hat. This way, you will achieve a perfectly flat and beautiful crown. For an even, beautiful decrease of the crown stitches, the number of stitches on your hat needles should be divisible by 4 without a remainder. For example: if you have 104 stitches on your needles, dividing by 4 gives 26. Minus 4, i.e. one from each wedge. (104-4):4 equals 25, so each wedge will have 25 stitches and one knit stitch between the wedges that form a path. We will decrease stitches with a left slope, then with a right slope every other row. We do this as follows: Knit 10 stitches.







Slip the eleventh stitch onto the needle.







Knit the twelfth stitch, then knit the eleventh stitch onto the twelfth.







Then knit one stitch.







Knit the first stitch of the next wedge, then return it to the left needle.







Lift the second stitch over the first, and move the first stitch to the right needle.







Then knit 11 stitches.







Take the second, third, and fourth double-pointed needles and knit exactly the same way.







Knit the second row and all even rows according to the pattern.







Knit until there are 3 stitches left between the chains of knit stitches (from 25). In the next row, knit these 3 stitches together.







When there are 8 stitches left on the needles, drop them onto the yarn and pull tight. The crown is ready.
