PATTERN NOTES

The hat is worked in the round on circular and double pointed needles.
In stranded colour-work knitting, used in this design, two colours are worked in a single row in St St stitch pattern.
The brim is knit long to wear it folded for extra thickness and for more control over the desired hat height.

The pattern is both written and charted.
