Love this pattern.
Super fast, easy and awesome.

The whole look:
Stillness DaVinci Cowl Express
Stillness Quick Franca Mitts

Using one needle size for entire hat because I don’t have a US 13 in a shorter circular.

Worked the main section a few rows more before working one decr row and cinching up.

CO 40, ombré yarn held double, 1x1 rib brim.
Inc to 50 st, solid yarn, single str, main sand st section.
The ombré yarn is less bulky than the solid, even tho they are the same name of yarn.
