I started this project in January. Used nearly all of the yarn. Loved this yarn/pattern combo. I am planning to keep this hat! It is plenty long enough to wear with the brim folded and still have it worn slouchy.

About the yarn- probably about a sport weight yarn that gradiates through purples, blues and white.
I'm enjoying this project but it involves a lot of counting on each row so it takes focused time which I haven't had a ton of.
Working on the Front (or Back): 3 repeats of the pattern = 6 flowers
