Bill specifically requested the Zen yarn for a hat, so it became a Xmas gift years ago. I hated it: the fit, the gauge, the color pooling, the pattern used and Bill never wore it, so it was frogged. Then, of course he wanted to wear it, half a dozen times this year…Oops. Time to make a better version.

Increase 6 stitches every round for 25 rounds (150SC around). Worked Blueberry until scrap volume remains, then 3 rounds of Zen, 2 rounds of Storyteller for 14 repeats, then decrease 6 at a time til only 6 stitches remaining.
