Cut yarn leaving an 8-inch tail. Using a darning needle, draw up remaining stitches and weave in ends.
For pompom:
Use the grey yarn to create your pom pom. I love my pom pom maker, but you can also use the giant fork method. Once your pom pom is trimmed and pretty, secure it to the top of the hat using yarn and a darning needle. I like to go through the pom pom a few times to really get it to stay on the hat.
