Reinforce each connection with double crochet stitches.

Work hdc into each chain space and stitch around the edge of the hat, giving it a polished seam.
In corners (triangle edges), make 3 hdc into the chain space to maintain shape.
Slip stitch to complete the border and finish off.

5. Optional Flower

Create a flower following the previous tutorial (beginning with a magic ring and several rounds of petals).
Sew the flower onto the earflap or the side of the hat using tapestry needle and matching yarn.
