NOTES
The Ch-1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a st.
The crown of the hat is worked in rows that are joined by a seam, then the Button Tab Band is added last.
Decreases in the crown of the hat are worked on one side by working across a set number of Sts, then ignoring the rest.
When working Button Tab Band, be sure to work Sl Sts very loosely.
