Closing Your Hat
To close your hat, thread the yarn onto your weaving needle. Work into the front loop of each stitch using the needle. Once you have worked around, take the tail and weave it in the opposite direction. Weave it in as much as possible to ensure the hat remains secure.
Finishing Touches
At this point your hat is complete. This step is optional. Take your faux fur pompom and blow dry it. Usually when the pompoms come in they are a little smushed. The blow dryer will help the pompom fluff out. Take the piece that snaps to the pompom and weave it to the top of your hat. You can use thread for this part if you need. Once your piece is sown onto the hat, snap the pompom onto the hat. You have completed the hat!
