Pull through remaining sts, secure and weave in ends.

Using 6mm crochet hook ch 45 and weave through the eyelet row. (or you could use soft ribbon or knit an I-cord)

Leave plain or embroider/embellish however you'd like. (I used the lazy daisy and back stitches to make a butterfly to match the Square Newborn Hat)

Continue to K every round until hat (including brim) measures 5.5".

Hold wrong sides together and do 3 needle bind off (you could turn the hat inside out and put right sides together but I just like the ridge it makes the other way)
Weave in ends.

Embroider or embellish however you'd like...most of my embroidery was done using simple lazy daisy and back stitch.
