NOTE:
If you would like to make this pattern for a larger
head, here are our suggestions:
• Cast-‐on 8 more stitches (96 sts),
• Maybe knit an extra inch before you begin
the decreases (begin decreases at 9”)
• Begin decrease section by working in 1x1 rib
pattern for 21 sts, P3tog, then continue in the
same logic.
Happy knitting!
