my floats were too tight. :/ am hoping aggressive blocking will make this work. otherwise, am gonna have to give this to someone else with a smaller head and reknit it. not a problem, though, coz it was super easy - done in 4 hours!

NOTES: after the fair isle pattern, knit 5 normal rounds before decreases. (next time, think i’m only gonna do 3 normal rounds before decreases because the beanie ended up being a bit too tall.)
