Finishing:
Cut yarn, leaving enough for seaming. Run the yarn thru the live sts with a large eyed needle. Gather, tie off.
Seam:
Working from the wrong side, sew the seam by catching the outermost sts. Pick up the knot from one edge, then the ladder between the rib layers on the other edge. This makes a flat, invisible seam.

I love this easy pattern and English Rib is so flexible. I knit many hats for the Salvation Army as we get donations of yarn and they are all small quantities, not enough to knit a sweater. thank you so much for posting this pattern. I just knitted one with leftover variegated sock yarn. I did 100 rows at T-2 (no rollover) and at the top I transferred rib stitches on top of knit stitches and knitted 10 rows of stocking stitch before threading yarn through. this makes a nice flat top and no shaping involved, just a seam to sew.
