Cap Underside
Rnd 15: With 'Yarn A', and cap WS facing, begin with a standing dc where you finished rnd 14 of the cap. 3 dc, *dc2tog, 4dc* 11 times, dec2tog, 1dc. (60dc)
Rnd 16: 1dc, *dc2tog, 3dc* 11 times, dc2tog, 2dc. (48dc)
Rnd 17: *2dc, dc2tog* 12 times. (36dc)
Rnd 18: (These holes should line up with the strap holes in the cap, adjust the placement if necessary.) 2 slst, ch4, skip 3 sts from previous rnd, 15 slst, ch4, skip 3 sts from previous rnd, 13 slst. Fasten off, secure and weave in ends. (30 slst, 2 ch-sps)
Now thread your strap from underneath the cap through the ch-sp from rnd 18 then rnd 7, fold it over and thread back through the other two strap holes, through rnd 7, then rnd 18. Ensure your strap lays flat and in the right direction, then sew the end to rnd 27 of the base securely, leaving a gap of 15 sts after where the other end of the strap is joined.
Weave in any ends.
