NEED HELP!

I am trying to figure out how to re-interperate the pattern below to fit the following.

So I cast on 48 sts (12 stitches on 4 needles) for my hat (its a child's hat/toddler hat), I then knit 10 rounds of K2 P2 ribbing. Now I am trying to figure out how to adjust the following to fit my pattern. I know that this is a decrease pattern, and that is another thing that I am not sure of. Because my hat is a toddler hat, should I just start to decrease? BTW I am using bulky yarn, so a little yarn goes a long way. That is another reason why maybe its ok to start to decrease.

Knitting & Not Posting

Well, so yeah.

So I have been knitting a good bit this past week, but not anything that I have on Ravelry. Plus last week I was in the thick of getting a knitting newsletter together for my job.

Any who, yesterday was a really hard day. Yesterday was the 9 month anniversary of Birdie's death...so I way lying low, though I did get some knitting done last night.

I'm working on a quick bulky warm hat for my friends children.

Want to hear something cool?

Blog Design Help

If anyone at all even visits this blog I need some help.

I am trying to figure out how with this minima template to customize things. Or maybe there are better templates out there that I can't seem to google and find. I just don't like the looks of the blog, and I can't get the edit looking "tool" graphics on the right side to go away.

Any suggestions?

This Week Is All About Knitting

this week I will finally have some time to set this blog up and make it a real thing. I mean, I will have time to show you what I have been working on....tell you about the classes I am taking....and how my knitting (when I have time to do it!) has been a part of my healing process. I have lots to share, and can't wait to do it.
