When should you start decreasing on a hat?

You’re finished hat should be 2 – 4 inches smaller (negative ease) than you’re actual head circumference. I usually knit mine 2 inches smaller. The reason for this is because you want your hat to fit comfortably snug on your head.

How do you lower the crown on a knit hat?

In the crown of the hat, decrease rounds are worked until 5–8 stitches remain. Plain rounds are worked between decrease rounds as necessary to achieve the total number of rounds required for the height of the crown. The number of decrease rounds worked is determined by how many stitches are eliminated each time.
