Measurements
Notes: Used a provisional cast on.
Added 6 rows (3 garter ridges) to the straight section of the ear flaps as in this project because they seemed a little too pointy as written. Glad I did because I needed the extra length - think the circumference would have been too small otherwise.
Had to knit across an extra row to keep the Kitchener graft in pattern - used the “grafting reversed garter stitch” section of this tutorial.
Picked up 90 sts.
Knit to just over 5 inches from cast on before decreasing.
Decreases:
K13, k2tog around.
Knit 2 rounds plain
K12, k2tog around
Knit 2 rounds plain
K11, k2tog around
Knit 1 round plain
Continue until k8, k2tog, then start decreasing every round.
(in hindsight, might have been better to start the decreases a couple of rows earlier)Craft
