My daughter requested a hat based on the asexual flag. Cast on 114 on 4’s with my dk yarn. 13 rounds purple ribbing. 1 round purple knit on 6’s. 1 round white increased 12 stitches on round 2 to 126. Began spades color work with 9 stitches between each. Ladderback for the long stretches. Since I had 7 pattern repeats and therefore crown decreases between them would be 14 per decrease row, I knit an extra row before beginning the decreases.
