FINISHING
Edging
With right side facing, smaller needles and B, pick up and
knit 105 sts evenly around lower edge of Cap including
Earflaps.
Knit 1 row.
Bind off knitwise.
Sew back seam. Weave in ends.
Twisted Cord Ties (Make 2)
Cut 2 strands of A, each 3 times longer than desired
length. Bring the cut ends together and tie a knot close to
the ends forming a large loop. Secure the knotted end to a
stable surface or have a friend hold the end. Slip a pencil
into the loop and hold the yarn just below the loop and
the pencil. Holding the yarn taut, twirl the pencil, thereby
twisting the yarn, until the entire length is tightly twisted
and begins to twist back upon itself. Bring the loop end
and the knotted end together. Tie with an overhand knot.
Trim the ends. Smooth out the kinks so that the cord lies
flat and is evenly twisted along its length.
Attach one Tie to wrong side at tip of each Earflap.
Pompoms
Using pompom maker and holding one strand of A and B
together, make one 2” diameter pompom. Sew to top of Cap.
With B, make two 1” diameter pompoms. Sew one
pompom to end of each Tie.
