    This is the first time I've read a knitting pattern. For shaping the back of the bonnet, is it knit 1, knit 2 together and then knit 2 together for 15 stitches or is it k1, k2 for the next 15? I'm unsure the order. Thanks for your help. :)

    I'm not understanding the math in this pattern. I cast on 102 stitches, then cast off 30. That leaves me with 72 stitches, not 74 as written in 1st row. I'm nervous about the steps in "shape back of bonnet" and the math/sts.

    Hi, I'm looking at the pattern template for this adorable, cozy looking hat - I see that it shows 2 versions. I wanted to knit Version 1, but I didn't see the pattern showing any difference for them. Please let me know what to do! Thanks!
