Line up the sides of the front section with the rest of the hat, with the wrong sides
facing each other. Sc along the edge of the front, connecting it to the side sections.
Ch1, turn, then sc along the front edge again, to give the front section a higher ridge.

Numbers (if desired)
Using white yarn, ch 31, turn. In 2nd st from hook, sc across (30 sc)
Change to black yarn, sl st around edge of the number.
Pin the number in the correct shape to the front shield, then sew around the edge of the
number in black yarn to attach it to the shield.
Note: To help maintain the curve of some numbers, you may want to sl st two sc
together along the insides of curves or sharp angles. This is not necessary, since you
can hold the shape in place by pinning before sewing, but it reduces the bulk around the
edges of the numbers.
Final assembly:
Pin the yellow shield to the front of the hat, then using black yarn, sew along the edge
of the shield to attach it to the hat.
Secure and weave in or trim any remaining loose ends.
Give to your favorite little firefighter, and enjoy!
