[Barb Roland]

When making a large hat with a brim, the Provo Craft pattern states if not adding a brim, knit until hat is 8-9 inches long, if adding a brim, knit 5 inches, do the brim then continue to desired lenght. Should the overall hat lenght, including the brim be 8-9 inches or should I knit 8-9 inches AFTER the brim?
