Round 16: sl st  in each st around. Join and end off.

Dashes: Using a yarn needle, stitch back and forth though every other dc on rounds 10-15. Please remember that the dashes will make the cap much tighter so it is best to leave enough yarn so that it will be able to stretch. Tip: Place the cap on a mannequin head while stitching the dashes. This will help with the tightness.
