Finally after cap conclude, provisionally split thread I started cap, reinstate stitches on the needle and work the next edge:

In final dupa ce incheiem caciula, desfacem firul provizoriu cu care am inceput caciula , repunem ochiurile pe andrea si lucram urmatoarea margine:

Row 1: *k1, p1, repeat from* to end.
Row 2:*p1, k1, repeat from * to end.

Repeat these 2 rows 3 times more.

"Baby Hat With Leaf Edging"

(Copyright Lauren Eade, Image Francie Owens)

 Anyway, in my picture below, the leaf edging on the right is the pattern I always found in many knitting stitch books and patterns.

But the one on the left is the one I re-wrote to face the opposite direction.

And here's my directions for it--- and it was very tricky. Because in the knitting books' pattern, the edging was an 18-row pattern with the last, 18th, row consisting of binding off 5 stitches as one part of the row.

But that could not be done in the exact same way in my re-write, so I had to add an extra row in order to do the bind-off row properly. And then I had to add an extra row so that the pattern would be on the correct side to repeat itself by starting on row 1. So if you're knitting a garment with both patterns, remember that the one I wrote has 2 extra rows, which really isn't that noticeable.

(And, in the below picture, if the first 2 leafs look scraggly, it's because I was writing as I went, and I was perfecting things, leaf by leaf, until I got it just right....)

So here's my rewrite (and it's the leaf edging on the left in the picture): Cast on 8 sts.

1. (Right Side) K2, yo, k1, yo, K5

2. K3, k 1 f & b, P 6 (Important: When doing the wrap for the "knitting into the front and back" of the stitch, wrap the first wrap as if to knit, and then for the 2nd wrap in the front make SURE you wrap from the bottom up)

3. K3, yo, k1, yo, k2, p1, k4

4. K4, K1 f & b, P8

5. K4, yo, k1, yo, k3, p2, k4

6. K5, K1 f & b, p10

7. K5, yo, k1, yo, k4, p3, k4

8. K6, k1 f & b, p12

9. K1, ssk, k7, k2 tog, p4, k4

10. K7, K1 f & b, P 10

11. K1, ssk, k5, k2 tog, p5, k4

12. K5, p1, k2, k1 f & b, p8

13. K1, ssk, k3, k2 tog, p4, k1, p1, k4

14. K5, p1, k3, k1 f & b, p6

15. K1, ssk, k1, k2 tog, p5, k1, p1, k4

16. k5, p1, k4, k1 f & b, p4

17. K1, sl 1, k2 tog, psso, p6, k1, p1, k4

18. K5, p1, k6, p2

19. P2 tog, BO 5 sts, p1, k1, p1, k4

20. k5, p1, k1, p1.

Repeat these 20 rows for pattern.

SKILL LEVEL:  Easy (Level 2)

SIZE: Varies  2-3 (3-5) years Finished Circumference About 17 (18 1/2) in. (43 (47) cm) Finished Height About 11 (12) in. (28 (30.5) cm)

Gauge:

13 sts + 20 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) over St st in the rnd (k every rnd). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
