1/17/11: After trying to decreases three times, I decided that I really did not like them at all. I feel they are too tight and it hurts my hands to try to do that, so I made my own decreases.

Start after round 4 of of ribbed lace patter.

R1: K1, yo, ssk, p2tog.
R2: k3, p1
R3: K2tog, yo (counter clockwise), p2tog
R4: k2, p1
R5: k2tog, p1
R6: k1, p1
R7: ssk
Break yarn, weave through remaining stitches and draw closed.

Still need to block

1/16/11: Who ever said that this hat can be completed in one night is full of baloney.

10//16/10: The pattern is soooo boring (although beautiful) to knit that I can only stand to work on it in intervals!

5/24/10: Summer knit project while I’m working in YNP.
