Tidy up
Published On: January 19, 2025

Now that all three stitches are in place, you can go back and tidy them up. It’s likely to be an iterative process. Tighten them a little, stretch the fabric, tighten them a little more, stretch it again, keep going like that until it looks right.

Once it’s done, tie the ends off inside the hat. Normally I’m not a fan of knots, but here the yarn isn’t structural (nothing will come apart if the knot comes untied, it’s just a cosmetic fix not a structural change) and the underlying fabric is textured enough that the knot will just sink into the fabric and disappear (you won’t feel it).

Once it’s blocked again, the fix will be all but invisible!
