Notes

Hooray! Hat is finished and I loves it.

Unintentional mod: my gauge as it turns out, was 5.25 stitches/inch, not 5. So I worked one extra set of increases over the large size to accomodate my error in gauge. Turned out fabulously.

Worked a sewn tubular bind-off on the edge for stretch.

Also worked top of hat as icord to the increases, then split for magic loop. Much easier.
