3 months hat: (K9, k2tog) to end. Knit next round.

Both hats: 

1. (K8, k2tog) to end.

2. Knit.

3. (K7, k2tog) to end.

4. Knit.

Continue in this way until there's only 6 stitches on the needles. Cut of the yarn, leaving and end, and draw the yarn through the 6 stitches. Weave in ends. 

An alternative is to work 20 rounds of stocking stitch on the 6 stitches, and then finish it off as above. Tie the cord in a knot.
