I'm just starting on your beautiful hat pattern, have any corrections or changes been posted I've missed? I raise alpacas, and will make this from my brown handspun. I'm sure it will look awesome!!

On your SKPO, this is a slip and knit just one stitch, not 2 like the usual PSSO stitch? Just to clarify, I think I've figured the rest out. Thanks!

A PSSO is a slip, knit 1 then Pass Slip Stitch Over. So is a Slip, Knit, Pass slip st Over.

Lovely hat Anise its really gorgeous.
Just one question though: Do you do the rows below in the round on circular needles or do you just use the circular needles as normal needles for these rows?

How would this pattern work if we cast on 109 stitches and did the k2 p2 ribbing for 1 inch and on the last row increase 1stitch at the end so that we would have multipes of 11 (110 stitches)?

After I typed that I realized that I'd need an even # of stitches to do the k2/p2 so I am going to try it with 110 and see what happens.

I just cast on 110 and it ended up with 4 knits together from beginning and end of row. I think what I should do is cast on 108 and do the k2-p2, then on the last row I will increase 3 stitches to bring it to the 110 and then I can start the patterns.

Your CO has to be a multiple of 4 sts if you're going to do 2x2 ribbing. So you need 108 or 112 for it to come out right. Why do you have to have 110 sts?

Thats what the pattern originally said. But she did k3 p3 by mistake.

I have done about 3 inches on the hat, and I love the pattern. I did cast of 108 stitches and did the k2 p2. Then on the last row, I did straight knitting, but increased 2 stitches on that row. So now I have 110 stitches and tha pattern works out just fine. I love it, and it was a big hit at my knitting class (I am taking an adult ed knitting class) They were tired of seeing me come in working on baby sweaters.

So how many patterns did everyone make before they started the decrease rows.
