Great pattern! I didn’t want the frilly edging around the face, so I stopped crocheting early and just finished the edge with a row of slip stitching. The size medium is too small for my head, but that’s too be expected - I have a size XL head. For myself, I’ll try the large size next time.

Postscript: the hat looked adorable on her, but was 2 rows too long for a person with this size of head.
