This was a really enjoyable knit! I don’t like the brim to be too tight so I used the same size needles for both the brim and body of the hat. I did find it difficult to pick out the color changes as they were happening, tried both printing off the pattern and looking at it on my screen. I wish the designer would have listed the two color letters alongside the row numbers. I hope I got most of it right. Just used yarn from my stash. My daughter had gifted me some mohair for xmas so I knitted some little fingerless gloves to wear with the hat. She loved them both.
