CO 60 & did 5 rows of k2p2 rib, then followed pattern as directed for adult small. It’s quite large on my head, think I’m going to have to try again with the child size.

So all was not lost on this, I took out the bind-off at the top & added 5 rounds of k2p2 ribbing to match the bottom.

I now have a very cool owl cowl!!
