This hat is knitted from side to side and both sides are then joined using kitchener stitch. I used German short row technique to shape the crown. Bottom part of the hat, where ribbing for classic hats is usually done - is actually side of the knitted fabric in this pattern, so it may curl a bit, but when you wear your hat, it will look nice.
