I really like this pattern, it always turns out well. The only thing I don’t like about it, is that it aggravates my Carpal Tunnel. You need to work with 2 strands, and a smaller hook than I’d usually use with 2 strands to make it sturdy. I usually work on this hat over a few days. I’m still looking for an alternative, but I like that the hat has a really sturdy feel to it. Other than that, love the pattern!
