Finishing the Edges of the Accent Band
With the top of the hat towards you and your working yarn on the inside of the hat, pull up a loop next to your first round of accent colored stitches. This is the round that was worked in the Front Loops only --- you will be making your slip stitches in the same space.
-
Slip stitch all the way around. When you get back to where you started, make an invisible join and fasten off.
-
Pull up a loop on the other side of the accent band, sl st around, make an invisible join and weave in ends.
