Embellishments:
Now comes the fun part—adding embellishments to make your hat happy and unique. You can get creative with this step and customize it to your liking. Here are a few ideas:

Pom-poms: Attach pom-poms to the top of your hat using a yarn needle. You can make them using yarn in coordinating colors.
Flowers: Crochet small flowers and sew them onto the hat. You can use contrasting colors to make them stand out.
Eyes and mouth: If you want to give your hat a cute face, you can crochet or sew on small circles for eyes and an embroidered smile.
Tassels: Add tassels to the corners of the hat for an extra playful touch.
