Workflow:

Both hats are worked in the round bottom up. The instructions are written out for my brown version and the changes made for the white version are listed all the way at the bottom of the pattern. The amount of cast on sts remains the same and the way the sheep are worked up, also remain the same, the only difference is the ribbing and the number of sheep.
