11. Pull loop closest to hook thru the other 2 loops. Now, with one loop on the hook, lift next 2 loops, stitch 2 back, and stitch 3 front. Pull 1 thru 2. Continue to end of board until there is only one loop remaining on hook and your piece is free of the board. Cut yarn and pull tail thru the last loop to create the knot. Pull yarn tail into knit.
12. Sew side seams of the (3) pieces with a whip stitch with matching yarn. You will have a circular piece once all (3) pieces are sewn. All the anchor yarns will be at the same end of circular piece. The decreased ends will be the top of your hat. Sew top of hat with matching yarn by picking up the edge stitches of the entire circular piece. Pull the yarn to gather the hat. Trim ends and tuck into knitting. These ends will also work to tie on a pompom if you desire this option.
13. REMOVE THE ANCHOR YARN
14. Crochet the stitches on the anchor yarn just as you did to remove the stitches from the board.
15. Start at a seam. Pick up (3) loops, front and back of one, and one loop of next stitch. Pull 1 thru 2. Go around the entire hat to form one continuous chain. Once you get back to the starting point, tie ends together. Remove the anchor yarns. Trim your yarn tails and tuck into the knit.
16. Roll the brim up for a Fun, Ribbed Hat.
