Notes

I think this hat would pair really well with Ice Queen for a cozy set of hat, cowl and mitts!

I’m using Romi’s formatting.

C1 - magrat
C2 - white

Chart A -
C1 only

Chart B -
Both colors

Repeat markers might have helped me not miss the slipped stitches as often.

I have only done 10 more repeats.

Brim -
C2 only

After reading other project notes, and remembering another Romi pattern where the edge was tight enough that I had to redo it, I decided to not go down to a US0 but only drop one needle size to a US1. Other than our inability to find a face_with_symbols_on_mouth US1 needle, it seems to be working.

For me… this seed stitch is really slow.

Instead of using a covered button on the top, I used one that matches the 2 I used on the brim.
