Buttoned hat in bamboo stitch knitting pattern "Girl from Paris"

The buttons happen to show the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Otherwise it could be a girl from Stockholm, New York or Tokyo as well. Or anywhere.

The hat is worked from the bottom to the top, using bamboo stitch. It starts off flat and is later joined in the round. The buttons only serve a decorative purpose, no buttonholes are required.
