For the HAT:

rotate the three resistors in the top left, that should make the traces easier
place the crystal directly beside the ATMega (and rotate it), and the the caps directly beside the crystal (trace here should be as short as possible)
you probably can swap the three resistors on the right to make the traces between them more direct
you can also try to place the two SMD transistors on the other side of the PCB and see whether that makes the routing easier

You want pointers? You want pointers? You can't handle the pointers! (obvious movie reference). You want a full out design review?
