Doing kfb and kb&pf increasing throughout the crown because I found the others too fiddly.

Used grey until the skein ran out then switched to cadet blue, completing one round plain knit before continuing in 1x1 rib. This makes a clean stripe since you don’t see the purl bumps of the previous color.

Worked until hat measured a little more than 11 inches, then used the EZ sewn bind off.
