Gauge:

• Stockinette: 14 sts = 4”
• Seed stitch: 13 sts = 4”

This hat came out too big. I should have used smaller needles for the rib and/or cast on fewer stitches.

I worked this hat in the round instead of flat.

I used bulky weight yarn instead of aran weight so I cast on 64 sts instead of 74.

I knit the rib 5” long instead of 6” so Dana would have a little more flexibility in deciding where to fold the brim.

I worked the crown decreases as directed in the pattern except I decreased 8 sts per round instead of 9.

-Cast on 64 sts
-Rib for 5”
-Work in seed stitch until hat measures 10” long
-Work crown decreases (13 rnds = 2.5” long)
