Mostly happy with how this came out. The pattern is adorable and super quick to knit up. If I do make this again though, I think it really could use another repeat on the beginning chart leaves. Doing a test fit, it’s very comfortable but feels too short, and the brim doesn’t end up folding up as high as it looks in the photos. The pattern recommends changing the needle/gauge to adjust sizing, but I think it would do well to just actually have more rows.

Blocked, and the sizing is a bit better, but I still think it would benefit from another few rows of the chart. I do prefer hats to pull down a little further in the back, though. But regardless, I’m pleased with how this turned out!
