Tassels

Cut strips of yarn 22 inches long. Fold in half (you will pull the yarn through at this fold). Insert hook into the middle st on one of your ear flaps. Pull through yarn.

Now pull yarn ends through the loop.

And tighten. Now braid your tassel, or leave the strands loose.

Trim 

I gave the hats a frilly trim. To do this insert your hook into one of the posts on the last round of your hat.

Pull up loop, ch3 and sc in same st. Now sc, ch3, sc in every post around the entire hat, fo. Your trim should look like this.

Now weave in all your ends, and your done! Now put it on your little one!

Here are my little girls wearing there hats...
