Notes:
- This pattern has three parts: Crown, Body and Edge.
- The Crown is worked in 5 Rnds and includes all the increase stitches, while the Body is just a repeat of Rnd5.
- The Edge is finished with reduction to give it a tighter look. Without the 2 Rnds edging, the hat may fit larger sizes.
- Halfway before the last Rnd, try the hat on and decide how many more Rnds you need.
- 3-Ch at the beginning of each Rnd, counts as one stitch.
