For the beginning, in order for the pattern to end on with a P2 you need to cast on either 72 or 76 stitches. That seems to be a problem I had anyway.
Great pattern though. Thanks for sharing.
this is the first knitted beanie i've made. The Instructions were perfectly simple and the pattern makes a great hat.
Loved it !
