Optional Alterations
Cap might be a bit small for most with hair. Cast on 90sts using size 8 needles.
Your decreasing will change to...(*Knit 13, k2tog, repeat from* for 1 rnd.). Knit the next rnd, then follow decreasing instructions above.
Can substitute a YO for a Bar increase, this will make the eyelets more pronounced.

CUTE!!
I think I have to make one. Oh wait, I don't have suitable yarn. Hey, can I blame you when I tell my husband "I just HAVE to get more yarn for this hat!" ROFL!!
Seriously, thanks for the great hat pattern! I see one in my future, even if I do have to buy more yarn.
This hat is so cute. I am going to have to give this one a try.
That is a really great summer hat pattern. Can't wait to try it.
What a nice-looking hat! Thank you so much for creating it, and sharing your pattern. I look forward to knitting it!
Adorable hat - thanks for the pattern!
