Network use
Cut a piece of edge over your plastic network and follow the shape with a marker. Cut out the piece to take into the edge after joining.
Join
With two parts on top of each other, SC around the front of the edge through both thicknesses, causing the straight/ long edge to remain open. Turn the right side out to hide the connection seam inside and insert the plastic network. Sew the rest of the edge closed.
Ready
Sew bargains on the hat over the long/straight edge. Weap into the ends.
