Repeat last step 8 times more, yet making the 7th row of another color. **My model likes his hats a little shorter than most.:) If you want your hat to come down farther, this is where you will work 1 or 2 more rows.

Thanks for the suggestion, dru. You have a very good point. I have changed the title of this post and will consider whether gender designations are needed in future titles.
This is just what it says! I am so sick of following directions to the letter and I end up with a hat that would fit a giant!
I've made this hat with three different size hooks. This is a loose stitch. I make beanies for charity and I've already made this six times. Works up fast.
