Gift knitting! There are two 70 stitch long repeats, going around the hat, with some very long floats. Not usually my kind of project! Putting stitch markers every ten stitches helps me keep track of where I am on the round.
I wouldn’t call it fun to knit--it requires focus on the charts, as no two lines are the same. But it is going to be beautiful, and perfect for the person I am gifting it to. (Fingers crossed on fit!)

12/20 sloooow going. So much of my knitting is while socializing and doing other things and this is a pattern that needs some concentration.

I added a few rounds to the decreases so that it fits slouchier.
