Shedir is finished! It turned out well, but there are a few visible snafu's that I'd do differently.
1. Do 1 row of ribbing instead of 5 in order to make the hat a little shorter
2. For the crown decreases, buy a #1 29" inch circ. I tried to use a 24" for a while, then ended up switching to a bamboo #2 29" simply cause that was all I had. It screwed up my tension a bit.
3. Because the hat would be a little shorter, do not omit rows 75 and 78
(I omitted even rounds 75, 76, 78, 79 because the hat was so long which led to the crown puckering a bit).
That said, I love the hat. I have a headache right now so I don't really feel good wearing it, but that's due to the headache, not the hat. I'm going to line the inside with fleece or cotton so my sensitive skin doesn't tweak out from the wool.
