 Roll Brim:
Work stocking stitch by knitting every round for 1.5 (1.5,1.75'' or 3.75(3.75,4.5 cm))
then work increase round once as follows:


Next rnd:
*K2, M1; rpt from * to end 90 (102, 144) sts

  1. The first row after the brim. Is it actually knit 1, m1 instead of knit2, m1.
    I can't get 144 sts from 76
    Thx

  2. By the other sizes I think it should be 114, not 144.

  3. Yes, the correct count; in my opinion, is 114 stitches. If you k1, m1 you're actually doubling the stitches and would get 152.
