For Joana hat a-la-Maria

This is the For Joana hat by Agata Smektala adapted by me...because I wanted to knit it in the round AND because I dislike ‘reading’ a chart.

I did follow the chart as much as possible, so my changes are relatively small and based only on adapting for knitting in the round as opposed to flat and having to sew a seam-yeah, I don’t like doing that as much as I dislike reading charts.

Here's the Doc for this. Once I do the flower I will include it with the pattern written out and any adjustments I make.
