Lace hat with ears

So, after browsing the internet, here is what I found about knitting this model... The hat is originally knitted from yarn that consists of cotton + viscose + polyacrylic.Charts for circular knitting!!!.. if you are knitting with a seam, then you need to knit the purl rows in reverse!!! Be careful!!

Chart No. 1 of the central pattern. We knit the first 6 rows according to this chart. Repeat 25 stitches

purl

knit

yarn over

decrease left (ssk)

decrease right (k2tog)

3 to 1 left

3 to 1 right

Next, we knit according to chart No. 3, starting from the 3rd row. Repeat 25 stitches , including the first purl! We need it!!!(the chart says 24 st. - this is without the first purl)

empty and shaded squares - we knit with purls

Chart "2 side panels.. Repeat - 10 stitches. But in the chart, I drew how to distribute the patterns of the hat on the left and right (the chart of the left part is a mirror image of the right), the central pattern is highlighted in red..

It looks like this schematically:
the first 6 rows are knitted like this - chart 2 + chart 1 + chart 2
the following rows are knitted like this - chart 2 + chart 3 (starting from the 3rd row! to continue the pattern) + chart 2 



Here is what I got... Sorry for the quality of the photo - taken with a phone..
Yarn is jeans, needles for ribbing 2mm, for pattern 2.5mm.. Head circumference - 50 cm, I cast on 107 stitches. I used the Italian cast-on,

then two rows of double ribbing, then ribbing 1x1 for rows 10-13. and then the pattern itself..

I knitted one repeat of the pattern up. now I need to determine the place for the ears.. I have 4 repeats of "Stripes" from the central pattern.. I think the ears should be formed after the first "stripe", so in the second "stripe" I knit 8 knit stitches. The photo of the original shows that the ears are knitted in stockinette stitch gradually on a slant, so to speak, and the knitting starts with 8 stitches and then in every second row you need to knit one or two stitches knit.. most likely until the end of the knitting of the required height of the hat.. something like that.. These are my assumptions. I haven't tried to knit like this yet.. regarding the decreases in the center of the ear, I'm still figuring it out(( I'm sharing my idea with you)) as they say, I thought and thought and came up with))) So, I think what if I try it this way: my total number is 107 stitches.. Take the central 25 stitches of the lace + 2 knit stitches on each side = 29 stitches.. 107-29=78 stitches remain.. In the back, we separate the central 30 stitches (30 stitches because, so that an even number of stitches remains for the ears). This gives us 78 - 30 = 48 stitches : 2 = 24 stitches - we leave 24 stitches for the ears.. I hope I explained it clearly.."!?? And then in the center in front and back we knit according to the charts, and the ears are knitted with knit stitches.. Girls, Alena from OK drew us the ear chart (for which she deserves a special THANK YOU!), I hope everything is clear... Here’s how she explains: Each has their own height of the hat. You knit to the middle height and start knitting the ear. You start the ear with 6-8 knit stitches and gradually add 1-2 knit stitches in each row or every other row, whichever you prefer. The ear is knitted the same both in front and in back. Knit 3/4 of the height of the hat and in the ear you start to knit a "stripe" of purl stitches in each row or every other row shifting the purl stitch towards the center of the ear (as shown in the chart). In the original hat, the stitches are decreased in the central pattern (repeat chart 3). The chart of decreases is together with the chart of the ears. In the back of the hat, the stitches are also decreased as in the front, only there you decrease the stitches as you like, but the number of decreases is the same in the front and back.

I have gathered and systematized the material from Polinka's mom
