Dust bowl hat is complete.

I finished it and I love the look. Because this is a test hat, I didn't line it. 

There are some tweaks I plan on making. 

I'm going to curve the darts for the side circular part to give the hat some more top volume.

 I'm going to adjust the side with the pleats. I do so love pleats on a hat. 

The back of the hat I like. I'm happy that I made the grain line correct so that the center gathered piece is straight with the center back of the hat.

I want to make another one and work out the small things. I think I'll do it in stripes to see how my grain lines look that way.
