Fold the cap so that both needles are parallel with one behind the other.with 14" length hanging from pointed end of the back needle. Always keep the yarn under the needles while doing the following work.

Weave stitches from front and back needles together as follows:

1. Thread wool needle and use as knitting needle
2. Start on front needle
3. Pass yarn needle through first stitch on knitting needle as if to knit. Slip stitch off needle. Pass yarn through second stitch on same needle from the opposite side as if to purl. Pull yarn through but leave on needle.
4. Repeat step 3 on back needle
5. Repeat until all stitches are off needles.
6. Pull yarn through and fasten securely, leaving extra length to sew up seam.

To Sew Seam:

Place edges of cap adjacent to each other matching border to border and crown to crown. Secure edges with pins. Picking up outside loop of stitch from ech side, sew back and forth drawing two edges securely together from crown to bottom of cuff. Do not sew through double thickness.
