I love the look of this hat from the front and the side. Not from the back. There is so much hat, and such a rapid decrease that for me, it doesn’t work. I decreased earlier and cut down some length, and I still don’t love it. Can’t figure out how to keep the slouch and decrease more rapidly. Other projects did more of a beanie, which seems to be the only alternative.
