The pictures are enlarged, and the gauge is much smaller than it appears - 7 st/inch, worsted weight on size 2 (US) needles. Might try doing this in the round next time.
Yarn is Purl and Pines worsted, Citrus Grove.

@sit Yes, and it can be worn as a slouchy hat (below) or as a watch cap, and of course is fully reversible.
@ChaosCoati I didn’t, actually, but when I was finished and sent a pic to a knitting friend she responded “The Musselburgh Hat!” and sure enough, my cast on and off are different but yeah, it’s the Musselburgh Hat!
Found my stitch markers and finished the hat! It fits so well, the yarn is so dang cheerful, it can be worn a variety of ways, and most importantly it doesn’t mess with hearing aids when I put it on

@TeaHands That sounds like a most excellent weekend. Love the part of the sheep sticking it's head in!
@weirdsquid Yes! I finally got the ‘how’ last night. Hoping today in the daylight of the airport lounge I can figure out the ‘why’!
@Anticorp Honestly not so bad. Flew out early this morning, return Friday. We even had empty middle seats on our flight this morning!
@thegiddystitcher My husband- bless his kind heart- will let you know if it gets out of control! 😆
