Cast on a multiple of 8 stitches onto circular needles or double-pointed needles. (See Gauge Chart to determine how many to cast on based on your gauge and desired size. Sample used 96 sts.)
Work k1, p1 rib in the round for approximately 2” / 5 cm.
Now that you have your ribbing, work a round of entrelac base triangles.
Base Triangles: row 1: K2, turn. row 2: P2, turn. row 3: K3, turn. row 4: P3, turn. row 5: K4, turn. row 6: P4, turn.
Continue in this manner, knitting and purling 1 additional stitch every 2 rows up to k8. Do not turn. 1 triangle completed. Start again from Row 1 with next 2 sts, and work triangles like this all the way around.
When you get back to the beginning, with RS facing, pick up 8 stitches going up the side of the first base triangle. Turn, and work set up row as follows (WS): P7, p2tog (1 st from this first block and 1 st from last base triangle), turn.
row 1 (rs): Sl 1, k7, turn. row 2 (Ws): P7, p2tog, turn. Rep Rows 1 and 2 until all sts of last triangle have been worked.
With WS facing, pick up and purl 8 sts along edge of last triangle. (The triangle whose live sts you just worked.)
Rep Rows 1 and 2 as for first block. Work blocks in this manner around entire tier of base triangles. When last block of this tier has been worked, pick up and purl 8 sts along first block worked. Turn. The second tier of blocks will be worked in the other direction.
note: If your hat at this point measures at least 5” / 13 cm (for adult size hats; or 3 ½” – 4 ½” / 9 – 11.5 cm for babies / kids) from the cast on to the top corner of your first tier, decrease the number of sts in each block as follows: after the Set up Row, decrease by one stitch and work as a block of 7 stitches.

the note above when your hat measures at least 3 ½ - 5” / 9 – 13 cm depending on desired size.
After working the first decrease tier, on your subsequent tier, pick up 7 stitches, and decrease to 6, then work as blocks of 6. Then, for the tier after that, pick up 6 stitches, and decrease to 5. Every tier, the number of stitches in your blocks drops by one. This way, your hat starts to narrow in with every entrelac tier.
Eventually, you’ve got one stitch per entrelac block in a tier. In other words, if you had 9 blocks per tier to start with, now you have 9 stitches remaining. To finish, you can do a sewn bind-off and put a pom-pom here, or graft these last stitches together, or simply draw the yarn through the remaining sts and fasten off.
