I changed the increase portion and it definitely lays flatter. When I have more time I’ll write down the details of what I did.

9/24/11
These are the modifications I made to make the increase portion lay flatter — basically, I used 4 fewer increases and then omitted the ssk/k2tog in rows 1 & 3 of the first lace pattern repeat.

I followed the pattern as written up to K2, P2, K3, P2, K2.

I did not increase for the next two rows:

P2, K2, P3, K2, P2

K2, P2, K3, P2, K2

Then I followed the pattern again:

P2, K2, P1, M1R, P1, M1R, P1, K2, P2 (13 Stitches)

K2, P2, K5, P2, K2

P2, K2, P1, M1R, P3, M1R, P1, K2, P2 (15 Stitches)

K2, P2, K7, P2, K2

P2, K2, P1, M1R, P5, M1R, P1, K2, P2 (17 Stitches)

Then I started the lace pattern, but I omitted the ssk & k2tog in only the 1st and 3rd rows of this lace pattern repeat:

Row 1: K2, P2, K3, yo, k4, yo, k2, P2, K2

Row 2: P2, K2, Purl to last 4 stitches, K2, P2

Row 3: K2, P2, K2, yo, k4, yo, k3, P2, K2

Row 4: P2, K2, Purl to last 4 stitches, K2, P2

For the rest of the headband, I followed the pattern as written.

The yarnovers in the 1st and 3rd row make up the 4 stitches I didn’t include in the increase rows.
