geometric hat kindof...

there is a mistake in the decrease row 7, but im not sure what it is. i think it should be end with k1,p1? i dont know. working on fixing it now...

========================================================

this is from the free ravelry pattern Geometric Hat by Vanessa Ewing. my finished knit of this on ravelry here. reading this pattern is a little hard to read for a beginner, and i totally couldn't understand the decreases, so this is my re-write and modification of the pattern. this is knit in the round with worsted weight yarn and 5.5 mm needles.
co 70 stitches of worsted weight yarn on 5.5 mm needles (or cast on any multiple of 10). repeat whatever is in the parenthesis ( ).


stitch pattern:
row 1-5: (k4, p1)
row 6-8: p5, (k4, p6) k4, p1
row 9-13: (k4,p1)
row 14-16: k4, p6
repeat until hat is 5.5 inches or desired length.


decrease:
row 1: (k3, p2tog)
row 2: (k3,p1)
row 3: (k2, p2tog)
row 4: (k2,p1)
row 5: (k1, p2tog)
row 6: (k1,p1)
row 7: (p2tog, k1) k2tog
row 8: (p1, k1)
row 9: (k2tog)
row 10: knit

modified geometric hat

Geometric Hat by Vanessa Ewing is a great free pattern on ravelry.com. i made this with a co of 75 but didnt realize i should use a multiple of 10 and was too lazy to rip and start over. instead of a k5,p1 pattern, i used k3,p2 to make the hat more "ribbed" and hug the head better.


geohat modifications: 
co 70 st on 4mm needles (or use any multiple of 10)
join in the round
row 1-5: (p2, k3) repeat
row 6-8: (p7, k3) repeat
row 9-13: (p2, k3)
row 14-16: p2 (k3,p7) repeat
blah blah blah


decrease:
row 1: [p2tog, k3]
row 2: [p1, k2tog,k1]
row 3 and 4: [p1,k2]
row 5: [p1, k2tog]
row 6 and 7: [p1,k1]
row 8: [k2tog]
row 9 and 10: knit
row 11: k2tog
