Great project for using up yarn ends. This was my first stranded projects and I found the pattern easy to memorize. I did make the following changes to the pattern:

1 - used a 2 x 2 ribbin for the brim.
2 - used only three colours (combined mc & cc2 so it would look like the pictured project in interweave - colour were very close)

Very enjoyable project that knit up quickly. The stranding makes the hat very warm. Thicknes would not translate well for a slouchy hat.
