2. Continue the sewing of the bands around the edge of the crown until the bands just meet on the side or overlap about ¼ inch.

3. Turn the bands up and fasten them to the crown on the sides to keep them in place.

4. Make very small pompoms, not more than 1 inch across, of the same color yarn as the crown, and fasten them to the bands where they come together on the side of the cap. Put some crocheted loops of yarn between as shown in [Fig. 52].

5. If the cap is too loose around the head, tighten the bands by running a double strand of yarn through the knitting just where the crown is sewed to the bands.
