Hey, have any of you made this Squid Hat (pdf pattern here). I cannot for the life of me figure out what she meant with the eye instructions--specifically row 18 and on. Is it a turn-ridge (a purl on the knit side row) that she's talking about? She's not answering email and I'm trying (pathetically) to finish this for my sister. I had to stop working on it for months b/c it ws killing my wrists, but now I'm changing my knitting style (Continental to British to Victorian) and I'm making due.
I'm also pondering the best way to make Thing 1 (my 7yo) a Headless Horseman costume.
It's always something, no?

Sadly I can't see the squid hat photos or pattern (I get an error on the pdf page and the photos just have an x) so I can't help you there.
My husband suggests a blazer or sport coat (large enough to fall at the correct length) for the headless horseman with oversized foam shoulder pads (a neck could be left sticking out a bit) worn as a hat and a panel removed from the jacket at the eye area and replaced with mesh fabric. This whole headless horseman costume idea is great.

this link is working to see the pattern:

after a quick glance, i think the first 18 rounds are a turned hem... with round 18 being the round where you knit the temporary cast on together with the current stitches to form the hem. i haven't done this type of hem yet, myself.
this tutorial for a picot hem might be what you need to help this make sense. it has good pics.
ok, trying again for the link to the picot hem instructions:
