Finishing

• Seam the Side: Use the same yarn to sew the side seam of the hat from the top down to the ribbon section.
• Join the Ribbon: Join the two ends of the ribbon by sewing through the single crochet stitches on each side.
• Pom-Pom: The video also shows how to make a pom-pom by wrapping yarn around a piece of cardboard 250 to 275 times.
• You can then attach it to the top of the hat.
