Decrease for the crown:
Round 35: *K* if you used stitch markers remove them as you come to them

Round 41: *K1, K2TOG, SM* (- 5 STS 10 STS remaining)
Round 42: *K2TOG, remove stitch marker* (- 5 STS 5 STS remaining)
End:
Without binding-off, cut the yarn leaving a 10” (25cm) tail, pull it through the remaining STS, push through the top hole to the inside and then weave in the ends.
Block:
To block this hat I use a saucer. Like a teacup and saucer. ;) I put it inside the hat, so the bottom “swirl” is in the center of the saucer and the saucer is bulging outward, spritz it with some water, pat dry with a clean towel and let it dry overnight.
