Construction Notes
This hat is worked in the round from the brim to the top. Before joining to work in the round, 1 row is purled, so that the purl-looking stitches from the long-tail cast-on are visible on the RS. The hat is then worked as a tube to the top. The top stitches are joined straight across using a three-needle bind-off. Tassels are added to each of the points.
