Septopus (brown hat with brim using FPDC skillz!)

i made this up for my aunt's christmas present, yeah it's in poopoo brown lol. its really easy and uses a lot of repetitive "plus one" rounds... i just wish the picture was better!
i used an aluminum hook size H (US), and approximately 3-4 oz. of poopoo brown (it came from an 8oz skein of LeeWards "soft n' carefree" which i think is way super discontinued)
