Hat Test

I'm gonna knit my dad a hat for his birthday, but I'm not sure what kind of design to do. Here's what I got:
(No, that's not the actual hat.) I know the lighter color looks kinda orange, but it's really a buff color. I'm thinking I'll do the big stripes and the zigzags and then just buff for the rest.

You can't really tell, but when the zigzag starts, the piece gets narrower and tighter because of how the stranding pulls it. Any advice on how to prevent that?
