Finish : Using Color A and WORKING IN BACK LOOPS ONLY,slip stitch the two sides of the hat together. Bind off and cut yarn, leaving a 6" tail. Shove all of the cut ends down inside the hat (so they'll be sticking up when you turn the hat right-side out). Thread tail on a tapestry needle and weave through the top of the hat. Pull tight to gather the top of the hat and tie off. DO NOT CUT TAIL. Push tapestry needle with tail down into the top of the hat, and turn hat right-side out. Pull all of the cut ends straight up together. Wrap tail (still threaded through tapestry needle) tightly around the base of the cut ends several times. Tie off. Weave in end of tail. Trim cut ends to approx. 1" high to make a little "pom pom."
