until there are 6/8/10 stitches left.
Cut yarn,
leaving a 25/30cm tail.
Thread
the loose end onto a darning/tapestry needle.
Beginning
with the stitch you would knit, if you were to knit, thread the tail through
all the stitches and remove the knitting needles.
Pull the
tail tight to close up the hole.
Sew
through to the inside of the hat and sew/weave in the loose end.
This
finishing technique is demonstrated beautifully in this video by Judy Graham.

ReplyDeletejust so you know, the next one I'm going to cast off earlier as I find it a little pointy.
thanks again
