This has been knit but I did not realize I had not upload an image of the project. Its a nice patrern. However I did use a different method to knit the brim. I used a tutorial. I’m a visual learnerso ai like using videos whenever possible particularly for new projects. I also inserted a piece of plastice cut from a emptied and cleaned plastic milk jug to help the brim keep it shap over time and when put away.

I rated the difficulty based on the necessity for the knitter to know several techniques. While fhey are not hard, they are more than the the basics skill for a beginner.
