Notes

The hat has a negative ease. Thanks to ribbing pattern it is stretchy and sits well, not too tight, not too loose. I am happy with the result! Will be my favourite hat to wear next cold season. That means, I really really like this hat! Because basically nothing can make me to put a hat on unless the hat is super comfy, or it is extremely cold outside.

I had frogged the first try. The beret style, that I wanted first, didn’t work for me. Also, the twisted ribbing doesn’t suit me. The garter stitch for the brim may not look as pretty as twisted ribbing, but it sits and looks better on me.

It was difficult to capture the colour. The colour in the first picture is more close to reality.
