Knitting a flat hat

[Lori2122]

I'm looking for a video or tutorial on how to knit a flat hat with straight needles?

There are (supposedly) 153 pages of them at Ravelry (free to join): http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sear...umbs&sort=best

Here's a bit of explanation and a pattern for knitting a hat on straight needles. Most of the tutorials are for knitting in the round.

This one is knit flat, but uses short row shaping at the crown.

I might make one just to see how the short row shaping works, it might be useful in other projects. Thanks for the link!
