I love that this is seamless.
My head measures 21”, so I started with a chain of around 10” and it’s grown to 10.5” once I started stitching.
I’m using hhdc as the stitch for the top part because I like that texture.
When you start it looks like it’s far too enormous, but the instructions are good as long as you get the chain length right to start with.
I am working in a spiral so not joining or turning.
I tried the fpdc bpdc ribbing but it felt too holey to me so I’m doing k2 p2 ribbing instead, using a smaller needle than hook size.

I finished with Jeni’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, which I hadn’t used before so mine is a bit wobbly, especially at the beginning.
I rather like the mix of knit and crochet.
