Provisional cast-on 81 so I would have an even number later in the decrease section. I start my cast-on about the length of my circular needle away from the end.

80 sts after joining in the round.

43.7 g at start.
15.3 g after 4 inches of ribbing. 26 rounds

20.6 g charcoal st start. Hem brim with charcoal and work first 3 sections. Do 2 color brioche. Switch back to main color 3 sections then 2 color brioche.

For the 2 color brioche, where MC is the color below the brioche and CC is the color above.

Set up row and all Round a - CC
All Round b - MC

I left a 5-6 in tail of the first round of CC, and then when I picked it up to do the second round of CC, I plied the tail together with my working yarn. (To weave it in as I went.)

Always drop the color in front, to the right of the color you are switching to. Pick up the other color and move it forward or backward as needed for BOR. Slip BOR marker.

Total weight of the hat - 94.9 g
86.3 g of second skein of Black Canyon. (Joined half way through the hat.)
