There is an error in the instructions for the brim after the instruction to pick up stitches. The book currently reads:

Turn work and p13, pm, pu and k2 sts from the base of rib, turn. Sl1, p back to end pm and k 2 sts from base, turn.

The correct instructions are:

Turn work and p13, pm, pu and p2 sts from the base of rib, turn. Sl1, k back to end, pm, and k 2 sts from base, turn.*

Be it of her own Airship, or her own destiny, a Lady knows that she alone is Master and Commander, and truly answers only to herself. However, maintaining this countenance through inclement conditions is far easier when sporting warm accessories that show your fashion sense, as well as your authority.
