Correction, pointed out by another Raveler:
On the top charts there is a symbol on the right side of the grey “no stitch” boxes. It looks like a ^ with a third leg coming down the center. It symbolizes a sk2p decrease, which goes like this:

S2kp: slip 2 sts together knitwise from the LH needle to the RH needle, k1, pass 2 slipped sts over knit st (2 sts decreased).

On the photos, the s2kp decrease makes the line of raised V’s that travel up the crown of the hat and meet in the center.
