Variation on Etanapipa

Variation on Etanapipa
Mrs. T doesn't read Finnish very well (meaning: not al all), but she just had to knit this lovely and funny Etanapipa designed by Maaru. Luckily the pictures on her blog are very clear, so it was not so hard to figure the pattern out by herself. She didn't knit the hat just like Maaru's. She feared the lady she knitted the hat for, wouldn't like a very large point on top, so she made it smaller. And instead of the seed stitch brim she made a folded hem.

This is the way Mrs. T made this hat:
Cast on 58 sts on dpkn’s size 5,5 mm/US9, divide over needles, join in the round; (place sts marker between first and last sts if you need).
Knit 8 rows
Purl 1 row
Fold hem inside over purl row. Pick up 1st from cast on row and knit together with 1 st from working needle, to connect hem. Work like this till end of row. (Or use provisionary cast on from the start)

Row 1: purl 5, knit till end/marker
Row 2: knit 5, purl 5 purl, knit;
Row 3: knit till (including) last purl stitch, purl 5, knit;
Repeat row 3
This way the purl sts circle their way up on the hat.
After 12 rows from hem, purl 4 sts instead of 5.
After 14 more rows. From here purl 3 sts instead of 4.
Work till 13 cm/5 inch from hem
