Knit in stockinette stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) for 2 inches.
Begin decreasing for the crown of the hat. To do this, knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of every other row until you have 12 stitches remaining.
Cut the yarn and pull it through the remaining stitches to close the hat.
To make the troll hair, cut a piece of yarn about 12 inches long. Fold the yarn in half and insert the loop into the top of the hat. Pull the ends of the yarn through the loop to secure it. Repeat this process until you have as much hair as desired.

Finishing

Weave in any loose ends and enjoy your new troll hair hat!

Tips

If you want a tighter fit, you can go down a needle size.
If you want a looser fit, you can go up a needle size.
You can use any color of yarn you like.
You can add embellishments to the hat, such as buttons, beads, or pom-poms.

Pattern Variations

There are many different ways to vary this pattern. Here are a few ideas:

Make the hat in a different size. See the chart above for the number of stitches to cast on for each size.
Use a different type of yarn. For example, you could use a variegated yarn or a self-striping yarn.
Add a brim to the hat. To do this, knit a few rows in garter stitch (knit every row) before beginning the stockinette stitch.
Add earflaps to the hat. To do this, cast on a few extra stitches at the beginning and end of the hat. Then, knit the earflaps in stockinette stitch for the same length as the hat.

Get creative and have fun with this pattern! The possibilities are endless.
