Finish off leaving a long tail.  Weave tail through sc of Rd 16, pull tightly and secure.  Weave in ends.

POM-POM (OPTIONAL):
I throw this option here because a pom-pom on top of the hat would conceal the closing of the hat.  My co-worker did not want the pom-pom option on her hat.  The size of the pom-pom is up to the person making the hat.
