Finishing
Using a tapestry needle, thread the remaining 6 stitches and pull tight.Weave in the end to secure the tail. Create a 2.5" pompom using a pompom maker or the cardboard donut cutout method. Keep the long tails of the yarn youused to tie the center of your pompom.Using the tapestry needle, sew the long tails into the top of the hat, tacking the pompom on the top of hat.
