  1. Do you continue in rows 1 AND 2 for 6 1/2" or simply do row 1 only one time? This is sweet - I usually don't like seed stitch because it's tedious but this is a really pretty hat! Jeannie

  2. Hi Jeannie,

    You have to work row 1 only, the P2tog was just to adjust the amount of stitches to make the seed stitch work. After you have reached 61/2" in total, you can start working on the decreasing section.

  4. the way you have it written looks like decreasing every 2nd row during the body of the hat..
    do you need to correct this , or is it as planned ??
