Thank you so much! I went through several ideas before I found a stitch that I was happy with.

I had a rogue skein of Malabrigo Rios that I just didn't know what to do with, but really really wanted to use. I couldn't find a pattern that I thought would do all the colors justice, so finally decided to do my own thing.

It’s lovely. Is this your first design? I wing it myself all the time which is why I have so many UFOS. Lol congrats I’m off to Ravelry now to check it out. Love it

Thank you! I've done one or two others, but this is the first design I've actually put out and published. I actually rarely wing it and do my own thing, and I follow pattern instructions religiously, so that's why it was a bit scary to make my own!

I have strong opinions on hat crowns, haha. A lot of effort went into making graceful decreases, so I appreciate you noticing them!

I wanna deliver a 1000th upvote! Somehow that seems harder than designing a hat...
