Making up your hat: Sew up the main seam at the back of the hat. Sew in the white yarn at the top of the ear flap. Use a darning needle to thread some contrasting yarn through the base of the earflap to leave two 'tail' ends.  Include the white cast on end and plait the 3 pieces of yarn to desired length.  To finish off simply knot the yarns together and cut off the excess. Make a pom pom in a colour of your choice and sew to the top of the hat!
