Without binding-off, cut the yarn leaving a 10” (25cm) tail, pull it through the remaining STS, push through the top hole to the inside and then weave in the ends.
Block:
To block this hat I use a saucer. Like a teacup and saucer. ;) I put it inside the hat, so the
bottom “swirl” is in the center of the saucer and the saucer is bulging outward, spritz it
with some water, pat dry with a clean towel and let it dry overnight.
