Wow! Next, you will see why this is made in multiples of 10 stitches. You (knit 8, then knit 2 stitches together, creating a decrease)continuing across the row. Then (knit 7 st, knit 2 together) across the next row.
Purl a row.
Knit (6st, knit 2 together for the next row.
Purl a row.
Knit 5 st, knit 2 together across the next row.
Purl a row.
Continue to decrease in this fashion until you are just knitting 2 st together across the final row.
Cut off your yarn, thread a yarn needle and draw these stitches together to form top of hat. Sew the side seam together and roll up the ribbed band to form a little preemie stocking cap.
You must be feeling better!

Also meant to say, this can be made 3 different sizes by casting on 70, 80, or 90 stitches.
