Pattern Notes: In EVERY round, you will always do the first stitch of the next row INTO the SAME stitch you just SS'd to.  The first stitch of each row (where you will end up SS'ing to) appears to be short, but please know that it is the way it should be since for this pattern I chose not to CH 2 or 3 at the beginning of each row. Also, the hat starts out rolling outwards initially, but as you work down the hat it will start making it's real hat shape.  Each row is specified by a - , and NO, SORRY, I DO NOT USE STITCH COUNTS!
