      I haven't made any for sale yet - only as gifts, but I'm planning to! I just need to get the last of my Christmas obligations done so I can knit up more inventory. :) Keep and eye on my etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/MadeYouSomethingLame

      You've done nothing wrong! I thought I fixed that problem ages ago! It's been quite a while since I knit this up, but I think it can be solved by changing the k2s into k1s. You have my sincere apologies!

      Hi Honest Puck,

      Thanks for that. I have had to start again due to an error of leaving it out at night so my cat destroyed it. Bad kitty!!!!

      I really want to make this though and the lady I am making it for has a slightly larger head. As I am starting from the beginning, I thought of adding 2 more stitches so it will fit her head better and so it gets the nice neat pattern that yours has. This is what I was planning:

      once all the ribbing is done:

      3 rows: K14, p1, k6, p1, k18, p1, k6, p1, k28
      1 row: K14, p1, c6b, p1, k18, p1, c6f, p1, k28

      and then the repeat of the above, cabling every 9th row, 4 times.

      then k14, p1, k6, p1, k2, bind off 14, k2, p1, k6, p1, k14, bind off 14

      This should take it to your original pattern with 2 tails of 24 stitches and the front should look nice and neat like yours with the extra stitches at the back.

      Do you think this will work?
