Helm -- Error

So someone thankfully point out that in the original pattern I had up that increasing 12 stitches from 98 for the brim does not 120 make. Pattern has now been corrected, you must cast on 108 stitches, not 98.

There should be some knitting in a day or two, just got a few more rounds on this knit...
