Hat #15 is finished. I’m kind of into knitting girl hats right now but trying to sneak a guy one in now and then and this is one of my favorite guy hats to knit. You really do want to stop at 5.5 or 6 inches as the pattern calls for before starting the decreases … the hat gains more length than a lot of patterns in the decrease rounds. I went a little further this time but next time I’ll stop just under 6 inches before starting the decreases if using Aran weight yarn.
