Tips
- Try the hat on as you work the body to adjust the height if you prefer a slouchier or shorter fit.
- To size up or down, change the number of increase rounds at the crown before proceeding to the body; check gauge and adjust hook/yarn accordingly.
- Weave in ends neatly and secure the brim stitches so the edge lies flat.
