Run in remaining ends. Hair: With the Black, ch 301. Sc 1 in 2nd ch from hook and each ch to end. Fasten off. To apply the hair, line the upper edge with the line where the Black and Peach meet on the Hat. Sew it flat along the back, turn the corner, and when you get to the sides, make a small loop every so often and tack it down at the hairline. Do not tack it down anywhere in the loop. Continue in this way until you get to the peak at the top of the head. Do not put a loop at the peak but turn the corner as tightly as possible and continue with the loops down the other side, turn the corner at the bottom and continue along the back until you meet the beginning end. Overlap if necessary, but it shouldnt overlap anymore than about . Now go back around and tack down the bottom edge of the hair, again avoiding the loops. If youre really ambitious, you can do this for the whole Black area of the hat. With the Peach, stitch a part down the center of the top of the hat, starting at the peak and continuing until just past the very center of the top. Use a backstitch.
