Some rather thin wool yarn I ghad gotten from my mother. it was 2-ply I think and smelled from lanolin. I used 2,5 needles and started on 140 stitches. After 3 rows i increased one stitch every 15 stitches, after nother three row every 16th stitc etc until I increased every 30th stitch. Then I started decreasing. Unfortunately, since I don't know much about this I decreased too quickly. I followed the same pattern but decrased every second row. That made the top too small so I had to cut away a piece. In retrospect I would say start on 120 stitches, increase on every 12th stich until every 22nd stitch or something and then decrease in the same pace as you increased. But I'm not really an experienced knitter, so I'm not sure.
