Next, with your tapestry yarn sewing needle and a strand of yarn, sew the sides of the horizontal piece together.

Next, at the top opening for the hat, utilize the whip stitch along the top last row [22] in between the stitches, to pull the strand to secure the top of the newly constructed hat.

Also, I created two pom poms to place at the top of the hat for a little more flair!

Using the pom pom maker tool, I constructed two pom poms in Pink, utilizing the tapestry yarn sewing needle and a strand of yarn, the pom poms were sewn to the center top portion of the hat.
