Finish off the lovely rectangle you just made by working a SC in each "stitch" around. Use 2 SC's to round the corners. Finish off and leave a long tail
Weave the long tail in and out of the SC's until you reach the center of the row. This is where you will wrap using the long tail to sinch it in the middle creating the bow shape. Wrap until you reach a desired thickness & width. Tie a knot on the BACK SIDE and tuck the loose end into the bow so it will not show.
Sew the bow onto the hat where you see fit and you're done!
