Notes

Gauge on 5’s

Cast on large - increase to 152 sts

Knit 2 3/4 inches

Decrease to 64 sts and bind off

I used a crocheted bind off since it’s so easy to un-zip if I want to “go live” again. I played around with how far to decrease a couple of times. The 104 and 96 stitches for medium and large were too big for my rather large head, so I knew they’d be too big for Barb. I went down to 56 stitches first, since I was “trying it on” while still on the needles -- stretchier than when bound off so too small. 64 stitches was just right!
