I followed the instructions and it looks exactly like the picture -- which never happens to me. I think it's great! I made one in last week and have been wearing it everyday since.

The first version had only 80 stitches, but ended up too small to fit around my head; the second version is perfect with 110 stitches, and only five repeats of the middle rows. Perfect. What a great way to keep my unruly pouf in check. Thanks for the inspiration! After reading this post and visiting all of the other versions, I couldn’t resist making one for myself.

It turned out very cute and not too big at all, and looked absolutely smashing on the person I gave it too. This pattern gets two big thumbs up from me - I will make one for myself soon.

You can also fold it in half, as I've modelled here: http://chatiryworld.typepad.com/chatiryworld/2007/01/a_knitted_start.html I love it, I can wear a ponytail and keep my ears warm!

I have since made three more, casting on only 112 stitches and then doing row 5 thirteen times (instead of 15) and row 7 fifteen times. At least I *think* that's what I did. It fits great that way, but could probably even be reduced more because the ribbing stretches so much. But all in all it's sooo easy and quick and cute!

She said anything else was too bulky for her. My best friend just made a few of these- the sugar and cream cotton yarn seemed to work best for her. She said anything else was too bulky for her.

I think it should be used more as a guideline, ya know, just using the technique and tweaking the numbers so that it works with your yarn and head-size.
