With a yarn needle, use the mattress stitch seam the short sides of the hat together.
Once you have reached the top of the hat, you will still be using the extra tail of yarn from before to close off the top of the hat by weaving around the edges.
See pics below on how to close off the hat.
How to attach a pom pom to a hat:
You will attach the yarn needle to the yarn that is attached to the fur pom.
Pull through the center of the hat. Turn the cap inside out.
Pull the 4-inch yarn tail in between the two yarn ends from the pom and tie to secure.
Do this as many times as you feel necessary and then if you want extra assurance that the pom will stay weave in those tail ends throughout the hat.
Attach the pom as shown in the instructions.
Finish up by weaving in ends throughout the hat with the yarn needle.
You are done!
