Notes

Short rows were confusing. I don’t think I did it right, but it turned out OK.

If I knit it again, I would:

  1. Knit a longer cuff so that when it’s turned up, it doesn’t cover the dip of red.
  2. Change the decreases so that they are gentler. I was disappointed that the hat puckered at the top.
