Knitting is about proportions so each row is both wider and longer. You take out more width (in inches) every row, but each row also gets you a lot closer to the middle, so it ends up you pretty much have to decrease at the same speed.<br /><br />Also, since it is ribbing, which pulls in width wise, you have to decrease faster than you do in plain stockinette to avoid the whole "party hat" look.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981875440797551973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390279954481304362.post-70691876645755149272012-12-14T10:29:38.053-06:002012-12-14T10:29:38.053-06:00whoo hoo party hat!!! haha,

If you want it like a beanie you have to decrease more often.<br /><br />Many beanie patterns have you decrease 8 stitches every other row. Since this decrease row only takes out six stitches, you have to work the decreases more often.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981875440797551973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390279954481304362.post-14010677971439204712012-12-14T01:47:06.272-06:002012-12-14T01:47:06.272-06:00Hello Claire,

I have been searching for a way to make a presentable decrease and I think in your patter I have finally found it. I am in the process of making my first hat using your pattern. My question is... for the decrease, can I do one decrease row then one with out decreases, and repeat this one decrease one no decrease until finished? Will the finished look remain the same (triangle on top)? Or do I have to do TWO row of decrease to one row of no decrease? hope this makes sense. In my head it works out...hahaha Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604000040291515479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390279954481304362.post-60346502448702455532012-12-01T10:11:28.197-06:002012-12-01T10:11:28.197-06:00Thankyou for solving my dec problem.... now everyo...Thankyou for solving my dec problem.... now everyone can have a hat!Kath Maxtednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390279954481304362.post-4463924595421057912011-12-27T18:35:32.547-06:002011-12-27T18:35:32.547-06:00Hmmm, I used bulky weight wool and cast on 120 sti...Hmmm, I used bulky weight wool and cast on 120 stitches.

It worked great! Since I was decreasing a little more each round than in your pattern, I knit evenly on knits/purls around for every other round until the 13th instead of every 3 rounds. Lovely decrease pattern!<br /><br />Anyone interested in how the top looks with the 4 decrease rib instead of 3 can check it out here:<br />http://www.ravelry.com/projects/blafferty/double-rib-hat-with-square-decreaseBobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176658209380975010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390279954481304362.post-10626992757882358362011-01-20T17:20:48.424-06:002011-01-20T17:20:48.424-06:00Dear Claire, Thanks for posting that!!

My question is, do I place another stitch marker after I knit the first stitch of the new round (the first of 24 'ridges')?. If so, I'll have 3 stitch markers, and the one I've been using to show me the end of a finished round. Right? I hope I'm making sense!
