Note: There are 84 sts in hat after the 4 increases--in other words, half the sts are 42, not 44. When you divide for 3-needle bind-off, the division should be in the middle of the cable. Splitting up the cable gives the ears the strength to stand up tall and proud.

Errata: There are 84 sts in hat, divide in half down middle of cable to work 3-needle bind-off.

PDF revised February 4th to include the above errata.
