Mods
Hat was becoming too tall. Began k2tog all around at round 9; 20 sts remained. Closed crown with double cinch.

If I were to make this again, I would only work 4 rounds (instead of 8) of stockinette with color B and work crown decreases as written. This way the color runs would appear more balanced.
