If I used size 11 for the brim and size 13 for the body of the hat. How many stitched would I need to cast on? I only have one set of size 15 needles. So I’m trying to adjust with what I have. Such a cute hat! Thanks for sharing your pattern.

Hello,
You would cast on the same amount of stitches! The body of the hat can be done in either US 13 or US 15 and it will still fit the same.
