Needles- US size 4 (for ribbing) DPN’s and US size 5 dpns or circular (for body of the hat).

Step 1) Cast On 88 to size 4 knitting needles.

Step 2) Join in round and work p2 k2 ribbing for length 1.5 inches (4 cm).

Step 3) Do one increase round and switch to size 5 needles. *p2, m1, k2, m1. repeat from *. (Increases to 132)

    Hello Nadia,
    I am working on yout Gothic Arch Beret pattern. Following the pattern I ran into some confusion on row 9. It doesn’t seem to match up with the pattern. Also, the repeat is not mentioned. I assume it is the same as the previous but I just want to be sure.
    I hope this doesn’t upset you. I enjoy the lace knitting very much.
    Thanks,

    Ellen Basting

      Hi Ellen. Thank you for commenting. I updated the pattern to mention the repeats in rows 9 and 11. I’m glad you figured out why it wasn’t matching up. Feel free to contact me with any other questions.
