Not sure about the instructions
I tried this. Really. I followed the instructions faithfully. Then I ripped it out. I did it in a thicker yarn, completed a 2x2 rib, then knit two rounds, then started two rounds of 2x2 and two rounds straight knitting. Then I picked up the instructions at decreasing the top. Mine looked like the picture. So my thought is who the heck reads these instructions prior to publishing? I think they only see if the words are misspellled (!) which might be helpful, but I’m looking for INSTRUCTIONS! When I took classes pre Covid, my instructors always tried to do it according to what Joann publishes for that class. Invariably there were many corrections. That just isn’t right. I still managed 20 HNH beanies.
