In the unmarked intermediate rounds, knit all stitches. The width repeat = 15 stitches between the arrows, repeat 12 times.

Hat Knitting Description
The hat is knitted from the bottom up. Using size 4.5 double-pointed needles and doubled yarn, cast on 90 stitches. Evenly distribute them on 4 needles (2 × 22 stitches and 2 × 23 stitches on each needle), join to knit in the round. Mark the beginning of the round.
For the brim, knit 3 cm = 12 rounds in garter stitch. Then switch to size 5 needles and start the braided pattern, increasing 90 stitches in the 2nd round according to the chart = 180 stitches or 12 repeats in the round.
After 17 cm = 46 rounds from the end of the brim, begin the decreases for the top of the hat according to the pattern. After the 47th round, there will be 120 stitches remaining on the needles (60 stitches decreased = 5 stitches in each of the 12 repeats). After the 53rd round, there will be 60 stitches remaining. After the 55th round, there will be only 40 stitches remaining. In the 56th round, knit 2 stitches together consecutively = 20 stitches.
Assembly: Pull the remaining 20 stitches together with both working yarns. Secure the yarns firmly on the wrong side.
