Place both granny squares togeth­er with the right sides fac­ing out. Using sin­gle cro­chet (sc), join the squares by work­ing into each stitch and chain space along sides. Make 2 sc in each cor­ner to keep the edges flat. Leave the fourth side open for the hat open­ing. Then, sin­gle cro­chet around the edge of both open sides to give it a fin­ished look. Fas­ten off and weave in all ends.
