This hat has two finishing ideas included, using a three needle bind off for a gathered top. Choose a soft, drapey yarn for this hat, as it will add to the shape and be oh so comfortable to wear. If you don’t care for large buttons or tassels, try a pom pom or other decoration to fit your fancy.

With the three needle bind off, no double pointed needles are necessary, either--you simply need a 16” circular needle and a spare, which can be longer (for working the bind off).
