Adult Size Breath of Spring Hat

After posting the Toddler Breath of Spring Hat (pattern can be found here), I had a lot of requests for an adult size pattern, so here it is....FINALLY!  I know it took a while to get this finished.  I thought I would have been able to crochet this up sooner, but between wip's and family, it took some time.  Thanks for being so patient with me and understanding.  :)
