Pride comes before a fall

This is what you get when you think you know what a pattern says....


And this is what you get when you actually read the pattern properly

Amazing what a difference just 1 knit stitch can make in each row, I saw it was a 2x2 rib, thought I knew better than to cast on an odd number of stitches despite what the pattern said and well, as they say, pride comes before a fall ..........
Lesson learnt!

Both are lovely, but I see what you mean. I spend so many times 'improving' patterns as I never 100% trust them. Once in a while they are actually correct but how are you to know??
Sweet little hats though and nice to have different patterns intentional or not...
