Assembly / Finishing

Fasten off, leaving a long tail (approx. 12-15 inches). Thread the tail through a tapestry needle. Weave the needle in and out through the top of the stitches of the last round. Pull gently to cinch the top of the hat closed. Secure tightly with a few stitches, then weave in the remaining end on the inside of the hat. Weave in the starting tail at the foundation chain.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round, especially if you are new to working in the round. This helps keep track of the beginning of the round.
• Ensure your slip stitch joins are not too tight, or the fabric may pucker.
• For a taller hat, simply add more rounds before finishing. For a slouchier fit, you might want to add 2-4 more rounds.
• Crochet a gauge swatch before starting to ensure your hat will be the correct size. The stitch counts are math-verified, but fit is not guaranteed without meeting the gauge.
