TO MAKE UP

Cut yarn, making sure to leave a tail long enough for sewing up the side seam. Weave the
yarn through the remaining stitches, and remove the stitches from the knitting needle, pulling
the yarn tight to create the crown of your hat. With RS facing you, sew the side seam. Around
7.5cm from the bottom, turn the hat inside out and sew the rest of the seam on the reverse
side (this will be the bit that you turn up for the brim!)

Finally, sew in your ends and cut your yarn – you’re all done!
