Hi there,

my grandma made this hat when I was a kid. Then my kids used it for a while, but have now grown out of it. I would like to make them new ones, because they miss their great grandma who recently died.

I know basic knitting, I know it was knitted sideways and then closed in the back but I don't understand how that circled part was done.

Can someone give me a (easy to follow) hint please?

Probably simple for you all, but I am too much a beginner ????
