Need to Do:
(Note: I prefer to work rib on straight needles. If this doesn't suit you, you can cast on to the dpn,
30sts on each needle, and work the rib in the round)

Using 5mm straight needles cast on 90 sts

1st row * K3, P2, rep from * to end

2nd row * K2, P3, rep from * to end

Rep these to rows 34 more times

Change to DPN
Knit 30sts on to first DPN
Knit next 30sts on to second DPN
Knit final 30sts on to third DPN

Join and work in rnds from here

Knit 10 rnds

from here you'll be working back and forth across two needles
Next row – slip 1st st, knit across two needles TURN

slip 1st st purl across 2 needles TURN

Continue in stocking stitch, slipping first st, back and forth across these two needles for 16 more
rows

at this point you'll be adding 30sts and working in the round again
Next rnd – sl 1st st, knit across two needles, cast on 30sts. Slip these on to 3rd DPN join

knit 10 rnds
crown shaping starts here
Rnd 11 - * k8 k2tog, rep from * to end
