Yarn held double. Knit completely bottom-up, i.e. started with (crochet) cast-on, knit (2x2) ribbing, continued into body of hat.

The pattern is great, I’m just not happy with the yarn at all, it’s super dry and brittle and it squeaks on the needles, which makes it a so-so project :/ And I managed to stain it in the washing machine again thanks to some darker socks that desperately needed washing according to the bf

CO72 to accomodate for slightly off gauge.
