Gauge Notes
It is very important to look carefully at your row gauge for this pattern. I would recommend strongly to swatch before knitting the hat. You need to knit the 3 charts as written and there is no leeway for changing the rows without altering the pattern.

Please note: Bello worsted seems to be closer to a dk even though it is classified on Ravelry as a worsted. I would make sure to pick a thin worsted or a dk for this hat, if you are worried about knitting too slouchy of a hat.

Finished Size of Hat
