How to sew buttons on a hat

Have you ever knitted a square hat? I mean it's easy right, just plain garter stitch and sew up one seam? It's the average hat that you find in your first 'how to knit a hat' tutorial. Then when you wear it does it feel like there's a bit too much room in the top? Maybe the corners are too big and you wish you'd gone for a usually rounded beanie shape instead... Well, here's your answer, sew two large buttons into the top corners. They'll do the shaping for you and it will feel a lot more natural when you get to wear it! And if sewing is just not your forté this step-by-step tutorial will lead you right through the process. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy! I've used 2x3cm contrasting buttons and some matching aran weight yarn, as the super-chunky yarn that I used to knit that hat would have been far too thick for the eye of the button. ======================= To see other videos on this topic check out: Finishing Your Knits Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnqw36aiAI0i9ej0f-iXbzGxpjxGCz_Nm How To Make A Pom With Chunky or Bulky Yarn: https://youtu.be/IMR3jnKFmxs DIY Multi Coloured Tassels: https://youtu.be/4jjyIEZhTbY How To Cast Off Your Knitting (3 Methods): https://youtu.be/syzH-8UDfHc ======================= Here's a link to a free pdf download of a cheat sheet to help you pick yarn colours for poms, tassels and extras that add a touch of pizzaz to your knits: https://knitwithhannah.lpages.co/colour-duets-guide ======================= Would yo
