Work 12 rows in ribbing (either (k1, p1) or (k2, p2). 
If you don’t want a cuff knit 2 rows in stocking stitch and then start pattern; if you do want a cuff knit 14 rows in stocking stitch and then start pattern.

To work pattern you must be on a knit row. Knit 31 stitches and then start following the chart.

    Row 1: (must be a knit row) knit 2 together, knit 6 repeat across row
    Row 2: purl
    Row 3: knit 2 together, knit 5 repeat across row
    Row 4: purl
    Row 5: knit 2 together, knit 4 repeat across row
    Row 6: purl
    Row 7: knit 2 together, knit 3 repeat across row

Repeat last 2 rows until you are left with 3 stitches. Cut yarn along enough to stitch the side of the hat and pull through the remaining stitches.

** this pattern is designed for going back and forth.  I did it in a round, until the design, then I went back and forth, the continued in a round.  Then I only had a small seam to sew together.

I can't take credit for this pattern.  I found it years ago on www.wkagirlguides.ca, but it is no longer active.  

If you don't like the trefoil, here is some other versions of the trefoil (available in one template)
