Another reader knit
This cute raspberry number was knitted by Thiire from Finland. She e-mailed me before starting the hat crown decreases:
I am knitting the smallest size, and am about to start the crown shape.
Crown shaping: Rnd 1: *K1, YO, k2, SSK, (k2tog) twice, YO. Rep from * to end of rnd. 64(72, 80) sts.Rnds 2, 4, 6, 8: K.Rnd 3: *YO, (SSK) twice, k2tog, k1, YO, k1. Rep from * to end of rnd. 56(63, 70) sts.
I do not understand the parts which I colored red above. Am I meant to do k2tog twice (or not at all) in the round 1?Am I meant to do SSK twice or not at all in the round three?
At first I didn't understand her confusion--and then I realized that she was wondering if the fact that the k2tog and the SSK were in parentheses meant that they should only be worked for the medium and large sizes. I was trying to avoid confusion by using those parentheses, but I think they are really unnecessary.
Thanks for your question, Thiire! This pattern-writing is certainly a learning process.

The Chinese Lace Pullover is a perfect spring-into-summer project, as shown in cotton (or try a cotton/wool or cotton/linen blend). Lace borders on cuffs and lower hem flow into wide, figure-flattering ribs on the sleeves and body. Directions given for working flat OR in the round. See more patterns
