I really did not enjoy working with this pattern. Nit-picky of me, but I didn’t like having to deal with fonts from other languages (dwarvish?) and the style confused me. I had to work far too hard to make this lovely hat and it was not all that pleasant.

Of course, once I rewrote the pattern a bit (and a chart would have helped SO much!), it was a piece of cake, but why couldn’t the designer do that for me? I gave up entirely trying to follow the decrease destructions and just winged it.

So, the hat is lovely and I love it - the pattern, not so much.
