Notes

• Work in continuous rounds; place a marker in the first stitch of each round.

• Keep tension slightly firm so the cone stands up. Lightly stuff the very tip if desired.

• For color changes, switch yarn on the last pull-through of the previous stitch.

• Block or lightly starch the brim to set the ruffle.

• Optional bell bead at the tip adds a cute jingle.

• Safety: if adding wire or bead, secure well; keep away from small children and pets.
