Large X Decoration Trim around Hat:
I used a yarn needle and the
same yarn as the hat.
I started so the top of my Xs
would be down 5 rows from the top and each leg of the X was in the fourth hole
to right/left and above/below the center of the X.
I came up for my first X in
the center hole, then went down where the lower right leg would end, then came back
up through center and went down in same place (all the legs of the Xs are done
twice to make it thicker) – then come up through center hole again and do right
upper leg, then up in center and do left lower leg, then up in center and do
left upper leg, then come up in center of next X position and repeat around.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
