Notes

3/11/2018 UPDATE:
Beautiful spring day for a FO photo shoot. The hat turned out a bit big but doable for my peanut noggin. My daughter loved it and probably will borrow it.

Stash busting:
4ply blue lace + 2 strands of navy + 2ply light blue lace

Began with:
Unmarked 4ply: 78g (69g remain after combining yarn)
93% Meili Nu: 95g (40g remain)
90% Yangmao: 50g ( 0g remain)
Yangmao 2ply: 9g ( 4g remain)

Combined these 4 yarns.
FO Weight: 117g

Note:
This is the 2nd attempt. 1st attempt did not work due to yarn combination and biasing of knitting.

Did not gauge.
Use US 10 needles, didn’t have US 10.5
CO 64 sts via 1x1 modified long tail CO

Brim:
CO 64 sts on US 10
do 7 rounds
CO + 7 rounds = 1.5”

Body:
per pattern

Crown Decreases:
