5. Work the hat band pattern in 1x1 rib.
6. Graft (Kitchener) the ends of the band together.
7. Seam the band to the main cap with a slip stitch seam.
8. Pick up stitches from the front edge of the band for the brim (ブリム) and work in pattern.

10. Use a mattress stitch seam for the sides of the brim.
