ENSURING A FLAT BRIM:

If you want to make sure you have a nice, flat brim. I recommend blocking this section of the hat. You can either steam the brim and then pin it down and allow it to dry flat. Or, you can spritz it with water and pin down allowing it to dry flat. 

Always be sure to follow the laundry care instructions on your yarn and never touch an iron directly to the fibers.
