This hat was an exercise in math, cables, and killing boredom. If any of those appeal to
you, or if you just think it's pretty, you should make this hat. It's one-size-fits-all, because I
figure that if it fits my huge noggin, it'll fit everyone else's, too. Thank you all so much for your
interest in this project, and don't forget to show me pictures of your own Greenery hats!
