Notes

Long tail cast on with 3mm needles.
Started by doing medium size and using 3.5mm needles for main part, but hat was working out far too big.
Undid, and then tried again with small size and 3mm needles - much better.
2nd time also used invisible stranding as explained in “It’s not about the hat”. Found it hard work, but end result is much better.
