A note on gauge: Peace Fleece comes in solid, flecked, and heathered versions, which may be slightly different thicknesses, so do check your gauge and change needle sizes if necessary. The pattern is worked at a tighter than usual gauge to get a fairly dense, slightly stiffer fabric. If this is hard on your hands, be sure to take time out to rest and stretch your hands and arms!

Closing the gap at the top of the crown:
The cast-on will leave a small hole at the top. After knitting the crown, thread the tail of the cast-on through the cast-on stitches and pull tight to close the hole. Weave in the end.
