For instance, knit the purled rows in the beginning and then purl the body, up until the decreases. Then, for the decrease rows, work them backwards and swapping purls and knits (so the first transition row of the child small becomes Transition Row 1: * p24, k1 * instead of Transition Row 1: * p1, k24 *). Also, replace p2tog with k2tog. That should do it! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-90967019150053048922021-01-09T04:42:32.759-08:002021-01-09T04:42:32.759-08:00Can this be knit "right-side out"?Can this be knit "right-side out"?Cynthia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00460878556065184209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-79304566058898332402018-03-16T07:39:48.574-07:002018-03-16T07:39:48.574-07:00Hi there!

If you would prefer to stripe it, however, I can certainly help you modify the directions to make it right-side out; that's actually how I began in the first time and then frogged it when I realized that it was silly with all that purling and one yarn! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-87076927804499321482016-03-24T20:25:05.508-07:002016-03-24T20:25:05.508-07:00Glad you like it!

I can only knit so much of it before I want to claw my hands off! :) Anyway, we are still in spring hat weather here too, and my son's been wearing his every day. Hope yours turns out just as successfully! And let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Oh - and, unsolicited advice that you probably don't need but I would feel irresponsible not offering it. Since cotton/bamboo ends up growing a bit, you may want to follow the cast-on directions for a size one smaller, and the length directions for the proper size. Don't know how old your son is, but mine immediately tries to stretch out everything I give him, and then they get all floppy and weird!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-67636988798843741652016-03-24T11:36:46.688-07:002016-03-24T11:36:46.688-07:00LOVE this!
