Tie off and leave a long tail.
Using a yarn needle and your long tail, close the top of your hat by weaving the tail through the remaining sts on your needles. As you weave through each st take out the knitting needles. Once you have gone through each st and the knitting needles are removed, pull the yarn tail tightly. Create a knot and weave in any loose ends you may have!
