Followed Abitterknitter’s stranded version on dk yarn and smaller size needles hoping to get a hat for my adult daughter. Cast on 120 sts on 3’s joined in the round. k2p2 8 rounds. Started chart 5 sts between each. k2tog on row 9 in middle of rows between charts ‘cause it felt a little big. k2 tog between each chart again a few more rows down. Decreased haphazardly between charts. When I got to row 35, I had 98 sts on my needles and began decreasing 2 sts between each chart each row (ssk, k2tog).
