4/26: Love it! It is a bit tight on me, but that is because my gauge is a bit tight.

I added on an extra increase/decrease because I wasn’t at 9 inches diameter with the written increases. I should have stopped one decrease short, but at least this means it won’t slide down my head and nobody can really steal it from me. =D

I got the buttons at Walmart. They are over 1 inch in diameter but not too much bigger than that.

Used a black piece of plastic canvas so if my shoddy cutting job pokes through it won’t be too noticeable.

4/22: So far so good. I love how the colors of this yarn look blended together in the swirls.
