Wolfin-hat is worked in the round from the brim up. The brim and body is shaped with short rows with kidsilk stripes in between. Pulling tightly the non working yarn inside the hat while carrying it along, creates the scrunched up look on the back of the hat. If you want more room for the body of the hat, you can increase on the first body round with 10 stitches.
