Notes
This crocheted hat works up quickly in concentric circles with a near invisible seam in the back. An amazing video
tutorial for the seam has been created by Deja Jetmir at http://crocheteverafter.com/tutorials/singlecrochet-tutorials/invisible-straight-seam-in-single-crochet-when-working-in-the-round/ This pattern begins with a magic circle or magic ring.
