To sew up the hat, lay the hat on your work surface with the brim towards you. With the
beginning chain on your right and the last row on your left, fold them together so the edges
meet. Using the brim color tail, whip stitch through both loops of the beginning chain and
the blo of your last row. Pull your whip stitches tight every 4 or 5 stitches. After you have
the brim sewn together, switch to the hat color tail and continue sewing up the hat the same
way… both stitches of the beginning chain and blo of the last crocheted row.
To close the hole in the crown: Notice that your hat has 6 sections made up of 8 rows in
each section. Sew from the hole outwards through the last turning chain of each section,
then cinch the hole closed. Next, sew around the hole through the last sc stitch of each
section and pull it tight. Weave in all of your ends and enjoy your new hat!
