What You’ll Need:
- Finished beanie hat
- Yarn in the same color
- Darning needle
- Scissors
Step 1: Thread the Needle
Start by threading the yarn through the eye of the darning needle. Make sure to leave a long tail of yarn to work with.
Step 2: Position the Hat
Place the beanie hat on a flat surface with the wrong side facing up. This will be the inside of the hat.
Step 3: Align the Edges
Hold the edges of the hat together, aligning them evenly. Make sure the stitches line up vertically.
Step 4: Insert the Needle
Insert the darning needle from the inside of the hat, going under the first stitch of the front piece and then under the first stitch of the back piece. Pull the yarn through, leaving a small loop.
Step 5: Repeat the Process
Working from right to left, continue inserting the needle under each stitch of both pieces. Make sure to go under the stitch in the same direction each time.
Step 6: Finishing the Seam
Once you reach the end of the seam, gently pull the thread tight to close the gap between the two pieces of the hat. Make a small knot by looping the yarn through the last stitch and pulling it tight.
Step 7: Weave in the Ends
With the remaining yarn, weave the loose ends into the seam using the darning needle. This will secure the thread and prevent it from unraveling.
Step 8: Trim the Excess Yarn
Finally, use a pair of scissors to carefully trim any excess yarn, ensuring that the seam looks neat and tidy.
