Tube Toessel

Cast on 70 stitches, maybe tighter.

Knit in ribbing until work measures 3 inches.

When you feel good about it, increase twice in the same stitch.

Keep on doing that until the hat is as tall as you want it.

Purl for an inch.

Reduce quickly (but not too quickly) in order to get a flat top.

Did you know? The concept of the "Toessel Tube" was actually inspired by the "Elbonian" characters from the comic strip Dilbert?
