Make darts to shape the top of the fabric to mimic the crown of the hat and trim away the excess. Taking a whole stitch at each side into the seam, join the back seam of the knitted piece. Make 2 twisted cords 27cm ( 10 1/2 in ) long, attach one to the edge of each earflap. With right sides together, join the back seam of the lining taking a 5mm ( 3/8in ) seam allowance, then turn lining to right side, insert into the hat and folding approximately 5mm ( 3/8in ) of lining onto the wrong side, slipstitch all around the edges of the hat, earflaps and peak.
