Knit for Syrian refugees coming to Canada. More details at 1000 Stitches for Syria!

Gauge
Used size 5 and 6 needles rather than 6 and 7 because that’s what I had in 16” circulars. Cast on 92 stitches for the Large Child size in hopes that the smaller gauge would still get me a wearable child size.

Crown
In creased crown to 93 stitches rather than reducing to 90, again because of the smaller needles but also because my motif had a three stitch repeat.

Shaping
In the last row before the decreases proper, I decreased by three stitches (evenly spaced) to get my stitch count back down to the 90 it should have been for this size in the pattern.
