FINISHING
1 Cut yarn, leaving a tail long enough to sew the back seam. Pull tail through
rem 7 (8, 8, 9) sts and tighten.
2 Sew the back seam, carefully running the seam 1 st in from edge on each side so that the rib looks even.
3 Weave in ends.
4 Lightly steam to block, pulling rib out a bit to flatten—but not so much that the hat is too stretched out.
