Kathy, I didn't check the pattern before I sent the link because I thought I remembered using straight needles to make the square and the ears, especially since I normally use dpns only to finish the crown of a hat when I can no longer use my shortest circular or for thumbs/fingers (I like seams even less than dpns). In re-reading the pattern, it still seems to me that it was written for flat (back and forth) knitting using only 2 needles. I hope someone else has what you're looking for. Anne
