design elements

So, I want the top of this cloche hat to just sort of close up, not swirl the decreases one way or the other. And I decided to do paired decreases right next to each other. Well, I love hoe K2tog looks and want to totally mirror that. It's not happening because I'm not decreasing every round. And so I tried slipping a stitch on the knit round. That gives the left leaning decrease line a nicely linear look, however, it looks different than the line of K2tog next to it. You can see the left line has longer stitches.

This annoys me.

So, there will be more ripping out of the hat in a bit, but I'm trying something first.

Nope, that didn't work either. I guess it will just have to be K2tog decreases.
