Perfect fit!

• Read other people’s project notes and used 4.5mm needles for the brim and knitted 8 rounds of ribbing.

• Changed to 8mm needles after that. The fabric is a bit loose with the super large needles. But luckily I didn’t drop down a needle size. There’s just enough slouch on the hat with the 8mm needles.

• Used only magic loop (no dpns) and learnt to do cables without needles.

One Xmas present done! Yay!
