Notes

01-25-2017

Loved this test knit! I also really love the colors that I chose to go with it. Very happy with my finished project! If anything, I wish that I would have extended the brim just a little bit more, but then again, I prefer a very long brim.

I also had to make this hat quite a bit smaller because my head is apparently child sized! I only cast on 115 stitches, and then, after the brim, I K2tog three times during the very first row of knit stitches so that the colorwork section worked out okay. I also added several rows during the final crown decreases, just to have a little bit of extra length! Like I said, if I were to do this pattern again, I would extend the brim probably around another .25 inches or so.
