This pattern combines two techniques: stranded and modular. The resulting hat is seamless (everything is knit-on) because all elements are worked in-the round. I wouldn’t call it difficult, but you need to be familiar with stranded knitting .
As some knitters commented, most will need 3mm needles to get the gauge, not 2.5mm as in the pattern.
