Ribbed Cap
Size - One size fits all
Measurements :
Head size 21" (lightly stretched, fits my head at a whopping 23")
Depth 7" (If you have a large head, you may need to increase this. Just try the hat on as you go.)
Materials
1 50 g ball worsted weight yarn (I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Forest Heather)
1 size 6 circular needle, 1 set size 6 double-pointed needles, yarn needle
Gauge
20 sts = 5" over k4 p4 rib, lightly stretched
*take time to check your gauge and adjust accordingly*
Pattern
CO 104 sts, join in round, mark beginning of round.
Work in *k4 p4* rib until piece measures 6" from cast-on edge.
Shape top:
Round 1: *k1 k2tog, k1, p1, p2 tog, p1* 78 stitches remain
Round 2: K all K stitches, P all P stitches
Round 3: *k2tog, k1, p2tog, p1* 52 stitches remain
Rnd 4: same as rnd 2
Rnd 5: *k2, p2tog* 39 stitches remain

I am not sure how you can go from 52 stitches in round 3 to 39 stitches in rnd 5 by *k2,p2tog* across row.
I just finished rnd 4 in the beanie. What next?

My math must be off somewhere. I will sort this out this afternoon and fix the pattern. :)
Ignore my last post. I read it twice as knit 2 tog, pearl 2 tog. Your pattern is correct. I hope you didn't spend too much time on this. My booboo! Thx for the lovely pattern.
No worries. I was starting to worry about my math skills. ;)
