About the knitting pattern:
My Hat it is knitted top down using the circular knitting method. I work with Dpn’s until I reach 80 stitches and then I change to circular needles but if you prefer other methods, such as magic loop, feel free to use what method you prefer. After the increase part is done, continue to work stockinette until the brim. For the brim, change to 3 mm / US 2.5 needles.

Note
This hat is made for a 56-57 cm circumference (my own head circumference) , if you have a smaller circumference then stop with the increase at 120 stitches and if you have a bigger circumference then continue to increase until 136 stitches. No matter what option you choose, I recommend to decrease 8 stitches (or more if you think it is necessary) when starting the brim.
