YOur pattern doesn't match the picture -- e.g., you say to knit two of each pattern row, but there is only one row of each in the photo.
Also, you need to make a distinction in the color codes in the instructions between Claret and Charcoal. You use "C" for both. How about Cl and Ch?
No, the pattern is correct. First you knit a navy hat with claret diamonds, without any charcoal. So each pattern row is worked twice, and all the "C"s refer to the claret. The charcoal only comes into play in the very end, when you use it to duplicate stitch the diagonal lines.
Working stranded knitting with three colors is tricky enough, but doing so with this chunky yarn would have made that part of the hat way too bulky.
