I like this hat and great to finish it on your journey. I hadn't thought about using a hot glue gun before. I am having some problems with ends coming loose on the brioche scarf I made - the yarn is very smooth and the stitch very loose, so ends are constantly unravelling themselves. They don't affect the scarf, it won't go into holes, but it does look untidy. Perhaps a glue gun might help to seal those tiny ends.
Do you want to take part in the @treeplanter voting circle I'm running this week? You can find out more about it in this post. Have a lovely week!
