The Sack Hat

I purchased the pattern for the Debbie Ware Sack Hat from Threadbear in Lansing (I used Butterfly 10--a great cotton). The yarn I purchased made two hats easily, and I can probably make a couple more if I switch up the colors. I'm making this one for new baby Leah.

I started this hat a few minutes before tipoff of the 2009 NCAA championship game. Even though the Spartans lost, I was able to get a good amount done. This is the brim--work proceeds up toward the top from there.
I made a few fairly obvious mistakes, being interested in the game and all. However, they are probably the kind of mistakes noticeable by the creator and no one else (here's hoping, anyway).
