- Create a secure knot starting loop or a magic circle.
For the secure knot, create a starting loop just a little bigger than normal to accomodate the first round.Then loop the tail and working yarn into another half knot as pictured below and pull tight.

Finishing your Velvet Kisses Mug Hat:
Pull a kisses paper strip through the opening in the top of your hat, about halfway through, depending on how much you want to stick out of the top.
Turn the hat inside out. Using your hot glue gun, dab a small amount of glue on the inside of your hat, right near the top, and carefully press the kisses paper into the glue. You won’t need much to hold it as these are for decoration. Flip the hat right side out and enjoy your cute little mug hat!
Now you have your own adorable little mug hat for Valentine’s Day!
