Here is my pattern


make a gaugue of your wool
measure circumference of head [or if made for others take accepted
measurements]


cast on 6 st divide over 3 DP , close to a round , put a marker at
first st
knit in the round , 1st round , k1, p1 in each st.... [12 st]
2nd round , knit
3rd round , k1, p1 in each st .....[24 st]
4th knit
5th round , k1, [k1,p1 in every 2nd st] [36 st]
6th&7th knit
8th round , k2, [k1, p1 in 2nd st] , ... to end [54st]
9th& 10th knit
Now calculate how many stich you miss till you have the full number
you need and add to your next round using the same system i used
above .
and from now on k2, p2 . till the work measures half [1/2] the
measurement from one ear to the other measured over the head.
Knit only 2/3 of the stiches you have. turn work knit back , move the
1/3 unknit st on another round needle
knit thus back and forth over alength of half a finger, cast on the
number of 1/3 stiched and go on k2 , p2, untill you reach the height
of nose to colar bone,
Divide work into 2 , thus that the 1/3 of stiches where the Hole is ,
is in the middle of one of one of those halves.
Now work them as 2 separate parts ,
Front half [under the hole ] , k1 , p1, k2 together , now k2 ,p2 as
the stitch come above, end with k2 tog, p1, k1
Turn , k1 , p1 k1 , work st, as they come out above it , k1, p1 , k1 ,
turn
go on like this until you have a 1/3 of your st left cast of


back half , k1 , p1 k2 tog, knit /purl as st come , end with k2 tog,
p1 , k1 turn
knit all rows like this till you have a 1/3 of st left cast of


collect the 1/3 stitches left on round needle , cast on st [ every 2nd
row] on one side of hole , cast on same number as above st on under
side of hole [ on the newly cast on st, that closed the round] , cast
on on side , k2 m p2 all round for 2 rounds, take a needle 2 sizes
smaller than the one you work on and while knitting the next 2
rounds , decrease 1 [ by knitting 2 tog] st at each side of the middle
ex 1/3 number of st , now cast off loosely all around the face hole .
feel warm ..
