Finishing
Leave a long tail long enough to sew the seam. With the crochet hook or yarn needle, sew the edge of the hat together, making sure the right side (knit top) is facing out. After the edge is sewn, flip the hat inside out making the wrong side (purl top) the right side. Weave in ends and enjoy!
