Circumference at brim: 19 ½” / 49.5cm
Length from brim to crown as worn: 9 ½” / 24cm
Needles
US 4 / 3.5mm circular needle, 40cm / 16” length (for body of hat)
US 4 / 3.5mm DPNs or long circular needle (if working magic loop for crown of hat)

Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Construction
This hat is worked bottom up in the round. After working the ribbing the hat is turned inside out to accommodate the folded brim and so that the right side of the corrugated ribbing is showing.
