It's made with the "seaweed" green i got for the fishie blankie in a 5x4 rib.
The crown looks a bit pointy but once it's on it stretches out and fits his head luvverly :oD

I had 99 stitches on the needle, i will definitely change that next time as it was so awkward working out the decreases. In the end i just decreased one stitch in each knit panel, knit a round plain, decreased a stitch in each purl panel, knit a round plain etc etc until i had eleven stitches left, then i pulled the yarn through and sewed it in :o)

He's wearing it today so we'll see tonight how it fares as a work hat!
