Notes

This is my second time doing this hat and cap is a good word for it. I really liked the colour work but the sizing is a challenge. On the first one I chose the wrong needles. On this one, using the correct needle size, I added 4 rows to the ribbed band and added an additional 10 rose with more colour work in the body. It still is a tad tight but the good news is that I learned a new technique for corrugated ribbing to stop the flare. See NB below.

NB I have always disliked corrugated ribbing because it seems to flare. I found this You Tube video on how to tighten up 2x2 ribbing and thought I would incorporate it in the band. I purled the p st clockwise on the first rib row then purled through the back in the second row because it is knit in the round. Worked like a charm.
