Note: Try on the hat at this point. If the band does not snugly fit around you head where you would like it to then increase or decrease the amount of chains between the SC. Chaining is fast and easy, and checking at this point will insure you a fit that you like. My chains were done quite loosly. If you increase by a lot you might want to consider adding in a few more DC, ch 1's in the next 3 rows (or decreasing if you had to decrease). It's all about tension and you are at the fastest and most fitted point now. Make it a hat you love to wear!
