Sewing the hat Cut the yarn leaving 12" (30cm) of yarn on the knitting and thread this onto a very large holed tapestry needle. Thread the yarn through the 9 st., 2 times beginning at the first st. and pulling it tight and off the needle.

Pin the 2 sides together with large safety pins, and sew them together evenly. Sew up from the bottom as well with the leftover piece of yarn, finishing off both ends under the turnover rim for neatness. This seam will be the centre back of the beanie, although it shouldn't show.

I love Explore Topics the beanie! Reminds me of the toques my mom used to knit for my dad and my husband JOIN US! only without the fluffy yarn. It's a simple pattern, but I need the instructions and haven't been able to find them. I think I want to try this. (First for me - *wink*)

Oh, My, Gosh! I just stopped by via the Knitting Paradise Forum - and will certainly include Squidoo in my Favorites! Wonderful - interesting - and I just LOVE the Teddy Pattern (Thank you for including the flat-out lay-out of the project - makes so much sense!)
