He Rctyers !!! As some people reffered to the top of the hat and the possibility to leave a hole ,,,, On the Moebious hats i made the top is open , but folds over side ove side. Most hats i start from the top = i start with 4 stich, double them every 2nd round till it is about the upper circumference of your `crown` , than knit same amount of stiches downwards...



If you knit upwards, and have a few stiches left ,,,,, 1 take a thread on needle , go through top stiches , than pull and knot. 2 , sew up neatly , and or Adorn by adding a knitted icord , or a little crocheted cord, or some braided threads , into a neat knot. and let`s not forget the most traditional ponpon .



3 you might add beads , a little bell , an articicial flower , or even a small bag with a nice scented dry leave ...
4 you may even sew a bit colored button , or applique something on top . have fun create ,, mirjam

Mirjam,

On the hat I made for my friend who has been through chemotherapy (knitted upwards) I knitted a 4-inch long tube on the last 8 stitches then threaded the tail on a needle and ran it through the stitches drawing them closed, tied it off and inserted the tail back into the tube to hide it, and then tied the tube in an overhand knot.
