*In case if you are using different yarn and working with a different gauge, you can work 2 less (or
more) repeats to adjust the fit( you need to end the band with an even number of Rows)
* Measure the band -the band must fit well -it be a little tighter (but comfortable) around the head

the side furthest away from you, make slip stitches through each stitch
to join the band into a cylinder.

From here continue differently, depending on the size of the hat
Toddler – After R11, follow the instructions below for closing the top of the hat.
* pull the yarn thread through the eye of the yarn needle *with your yarn needle, weave
the yarn in and out of the top loops of the last round of sts. *pull the end tight to cinch the
top closed. *secure the top closed by sewing back and forth across the opening a couple of
times. *The bunch is the base to support a large pompom. It will be covered by pompom.
*Attach the Faux Fur pompom to top of hat. Because the Faux Fur pompom is not washable,
I recommend sewing the pompom on a pin or use a safety pin, to be easily detached.
*Weave in all ends.
