-SPECIAL STITCHES-
Whip Stitch Together: Using a long strand of yarn and an embroidery needle sew through consecutive stitches on both pieces to join. This can be done through both loops of the granny squares or just the front / back loops.
Hat – begin with chosen colour.
1. CH59, HDC into the 3rd CH from hook, HDC to the last 7 stitches, SC7, CH1, T {57}
2. SC7, HDC to end, CH2, T {57}
3. HDC to last 7 stitches, SC7, CH1, T
4-64. repeat rows 2 and 3.
Join and FO leaving a long tail for sewing together.
Using any method you like sew row 64 and row 1 together. I used whip stitch.
Using the same tail weave in and out the stitches at the end of the hat and then pull to join them together. Use the tail to sew the remaining hole closed.
Why not leave yarn tails uncut for an extra modern look?
