Floppy Brimmed Sun Hat

I liked that this pattern is written for worsted cotton, which will be cooler in the summertime.

The pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/floppy-brimmed-sunhat

The details: I used #8 needles and  147 yards, or 83 grams of Lily Sugar and Cream in this hat.

I am not a friend of the sun, and I wanted a wider brim. I added one more increase after Row 9, and then knitted three extra rows before putting on the garter stitch border.. I went a little nutso with the ribbing, and it is about 2" wide, instead of the recommended 1 1/2".

I'll probably end up making some more for myself and any friends who might ask. I definitely intend to make some for Sunflower Headhuggers to give to chemo patients.
