Pixus-hat is worked in the round from the brim up.
The crown decreases are worked only at the sides of the hat. You can lengthen the hat by knitting the body longer before starting the decreases.

There are instructions for three different versions - one colour only hat with slipped stitch seams as well as a hat with contrast colour seams knitted simultaneously with the body using intarsia method or crocheted afterwards.
