<strong>Brim </strong> With cir needle and MC, CO 92 (108) sts. Join to work in the rnd, being careful not to twist sts, and place marker (pm) for beg of rnd. RND 1: *K2, p2; rep from * around. Rep Rnd 1 for k2, p2 rib for 9 more rnds. NEXT RND: (inc rnd) [K10 (8), k1f&b] 8 (12) times, k4 (0)ó100 (120) sts. Knit 1 rnd. Short-Row Waves With CC, work 2 rnds of Chain Stitch, then knit 1 rnd. *With CC, work the short-row sequence as follows over the next 20 sts: ROW 1: K19, wrap & turn (w&t; see Glossary). ROW 2: P18, w&t. ROW 3: K16, w&t. ROW 4: P14, w&t. ROW 5: K12, w&t. ROW 6: P10, w&t. ROW 7: K8, w&t. ROW 8: P6, w&t. ROW 9: K4, w&t. ROW 10: P2, w&t. ROW 11: K11, picking up all wraps. Rep from * 4 (5) more times, working the short-row sequence over 20-st sections for a total of 5 (6) short-row waves in rnd. Knit 2 rnds even, picking up any remaining wraps. With MC, work 2 rnds of Chain Stitch, then knit 1 rnd. Knit 10 sts and place a 2nd marker to indicate an alternate beg of rnd. **With MC, work the inverted short-row sequence as follows, picking up all wraps as the wrapped sts are worked: ROW 1: K11, w&t. ROW 2: P2, w&t. ROW 3: K4, w&t. ROW 4: P6, w&t. ROW 5: K8, w&t. ROW 6: P10, w&t. ROW 7: K12, w&t. ROW 8: P14, w&t. ROW 9: K16, w&t. ROW 10: P18, w&t. ROW 11: K19, picking up any remaining wraps. Rep from ** 4 (5) more times, working the inverted short-row sequence over 20-st sections for a total of 5 (6) short-row waves in rnd, ending at alternative beg of rnd. Knit 1 rnd, then work 1 more rnd, ending at the original beg-of rnd marker. Repeat the short-row wave sequences in each color, including the Chain Stitch and knit rnds, twice moreóthere will be 6 wave rnds, 3 in CC and 3 in MC. <strong>Crown </strong> Note: Change to dpns when there are too few sts to work comfortably on cir needle. With CC, work 2 rnds of Chain Stitch. Then work crown shaping as follows: RND 1: (dec rnd) *K8, k2tog; rep from * aroundó90 (108) sts. RND 2: Knit. RND 3: (dec rnd) *K7, k2tog; rep from * aroundó80 (96) sts. RND 4: Knit. RND 5: (dec rnd) *K6, k2tog; rep from * aroundó70 (84) sts. RND 6: Knit.
