"Just Ducky" Hat

From p2 designs

Yarn: Wal-mart 4-ply Worsted Acrylic in Soft Beige (you thought it left...)
Needle: #7 circular
The pattern has you working the hat edge with dpns but since I have a #7 circular and not #7 dpns I figured I'd try to get the gauge right if not the method. I think it should be ok since I do actually own #9 dpns (also pictured--thanks Mom!) to switch to after doing the ribbed edge. Oh, and you see I got real far in this before getting wrapped up trying to figure out the bill.
