I love this one!

Made some changes:

• Knitted in rounds, not on straight needles (don’t like seems, and according to the pattern this had should have a seem on the back head :/ Little ones spend most of their time lying….), therefore CO 127 st, instead of 129
• Markers: 1st - beginning of the row, following 26-51-64-77-102
• made simple center double Dec, instead of that weird thing described in the pattern :)
• Worked Inc and Dec in every second row 20 times, instead of 6 suggested in the pattern. My baby has a high head, so 6 times was far away from enough. Though, some 15 times would have been enough, but didn’t feel like unripping…
• Worked Dec until there were 13 st left on the needles (5 on the 1st, 3 on the 2nd, 5 on the 5rd)
• ktog to the left first 2 st on the 1st needle, and ktog to the right last 2 st on the 3rd needle, until there were 3 st left.
• For the ties gathered 4 stitches at the tip of the earlap and knitted a desired length i-cord.
