My gauge was looser than in the pattern so I started a small, to get a medium hat. My gauge tightened up a bit on the actual project, maybe because of small circumference circs and now it’ll probably be too small. Should fit someone, right? Also, the yarn might be too variegated but I decided to just go for it.

I added an extra repeat of the pattern to make it a little longer. It was still a little small, but I think that it’ll stretch out when blocked (superwash).
