  1. Nice pattern. I knitted it instead of purling ( hate to purl) and turned it inside out for the same effect.
    Thanks for the pattern. Bert

  4. This is really nice! With these measurements, what crown size in inches would this fit? 21, 22 maybe? I am new to knitting and I want to try this as a gift. The person's head measures at 22in diameter.

  5. Is the yarn worsted weight? And are the circular needle sized 7? I do not find any that are 4.7 mm

  6. Hi, just did not understand the part where it decreases. Do I still knit 4 row of col A or do I just do the decrease row as how it is stated. Row 1, Row 2 and so on.

    What type of yarn and needles, please.
