The hat is expertly knit in the round from the brim up, ensuring a seamless finish.

The decreases in the crown are designed to be somewhat rapid, creating a charming scrunched look that adds character to this unique knitted hat.

This delightful colorwork pattern is available both as a written instruction and as a chart, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, you'll find joy in creating this lovely piece.
