What a fantastic way to make a brimmed hat! I'm so glad you did this video and that I found it. I made mine a bucket hat by inserting a 10" embroidery hoop. It doesn't need to be sewed in, as the knit stretches to hold it just fine. For the top, I did the "X" closure rather than cinching it. It's the first hat I've owned that fits my small head. A hat glove LOL
Great tutorial sis. I haven't seen this done before. Also never thought about using the bent darning needles to cast off. I have some of those and I'm going to try them.
Blessings everything is in the description box. There's also more than one link you can order the brim inserts. Happy crafting. If you need any additional help, please feel free to email me 😘
