my daughter here is nearly 3 and a half years oldcast on 93sts
set up with two markers
36-21-36
ON RS: all sts before and after markers you will knit
On WS : all sts before and after markers you will purl
I have started to knit on 3.5mm for first 8 rounds and then I have changed to 4mm.
main pattern of 21sts is:
R1(RS): p2, 5k, k2tog, (yo, k1)*x 3, yo, k2tog tbl, k5, p2
R2 (WS): k2, p19, k2
R3: p2, k4, k2tog, k7, k2tog tbl, k4, p2
R4: k2, p17, k2
R5: p2, k3, k2tog, (k1, yo)*x2, k3, (yo, k1)*x2, k2tog tbl, k3, p2
R6: k2, p19, k2
R7: p2, k2, k2tog, k5, bobble, k5, k2tog tbl, k2, p2
R8: k2, p17, k2
R9: p2, k1, k2tog, k2, yo, k1, yo, k5, yo, k1, yo, k2, k2tog tbl, k1, p2

bobble;;;;;;;;;
The bobble here is shown how to knit from 5 sts, mine is smaller (of 3sts) but knitted the same way and 1 turn less. So from 1 st I make two more sts. Then turn your knitwork, purl 3 sts on WS, turn knitwork and come back to 1 st the way they show on this video. Voila. Easy peasy.
k- knit
p - purl
k2tog knit 2sts together
YO - yarn over
k2tog tbl - knit 2 sts tog through the back loop
RS right side
WS wrong side

So you have 12 rows of this pattern, I have knitted 4 times full pattern (48rounds) and then I have started to do some increases on RS only, and only in sts before and after markers, and I was still following the main pattern without any changes. I think it is easy to do it so I want explain, inc by 2ktog, on WS sts are only purled like usual and without changes i've followed the pattern. In Row 9 (so in 57th round)I have bind off.

Wiem, ze juz wiosna i cieplutko a ja tu z zimowa czapka wyskakuje, niestety wyskocze tez w nastepnym poscie z inna, ale to zaleglosci i z mysla o projekcie na grudzien 2012, o ktorym pisalam tu. Dobrze, ze jeszcze zdazylam zrobic malej kilka zdjec jak bylo chlodno, bo teraz przy 20 stopniach nie mialabym szans cokolwiek jej ubrac na glowe! Pierwszy raz robilam z First Class Rozetti (ta wersja bezowa), i z Merino Inter-foxu (wersja rozowa). Jeden motek byl w sam raz. Obie czapki zaczete na drutach 3.5 a potem na 4mm. To taka wiosenna wersja czapki, stad nazwa Au soleil de printemps. Wkrotce kolejna czapka i maly rozpinany swetr. Nie bede okreslac tutaj wieku dziecka, bo wiadomo ze glowka glowce nierowna, ale powiem tylko, ze jest to glowka okolo 50 cm, czapka luzna, aby kitka sie mogla spokojnie schowac.
