Notes

My hat is project #3 for this pattern.

I rated this pattern as medium in difficulty as it contains a few fiddly techniques. First is a hemmed brim with the cast on edge knit tog with a row of live knitting. Then there are the many M1 increases separated by only 1 st, making the available yarn a bit scarce. Last - P2tog-tbl! ARGH. after a while I started using a cable needle to twist the purl sts so I could purl thru the front of the sts.

There were also double decreases in the leaves and I did them in several different ways so my leaves look a bit wonky. :)

This hat would have been easier if I had used needles with sharper tips - always better for the M1s and various cables.
