This is one crazy hat!! So easy and fun that I knitted up two last night for Christmas. On the large hat I made the tassel for top. On the smaller ones, I cut 3-4 inch lengths and just tied then into various places on top of hat. (Mostly where the decreases are) and I ended up with crazy tassels in a deadlock kind of way!!! If I changed anything, I would use the size needle recommended in the pattern. The large hat turned out really large!!!! :)
