Cut the wool leaving at least 20 cm.
Thread it on to a darning needle and pull the wool through the remaining stitches while they are still on the knitting needle, take out the needles and pull tight. Circle through again and pull tight. Bring the wool to the backside of the hat and sew in the end.
Sew in all other ends. Make pompom if needed and attach securely to the top of the hat: sew ends through the last 8 stitches and pull tight. You can sew through the stitches again to make it really tight and sew in the ends.
