So, in the next row, perform a uniform reduction (from two columns without a crochet do one) through every 6 loops. Next, knit the series without decreasing.

When there are 5-6 loops in the row, cut the yarn and tighten the tip. From the underside of the product, secure the edges of all threads in the places where their attachments occurred. Rastaman's hat is ready.
