Break yarn, leaving a long tail (almost as long as your arm). Thread the tail with a darning needle, and weave it through the remaining sts then pull them off the needle. Pull tight and fasten with a stitch. With wrong sides together and using 1 st on each side seam the hat, I recommend a mattress stitch. Weave in all ends. Wash and leave to dry flat.
