Knit for 1 3/4”(2”, 2.5”, 2.5”) or whatever length you want the brim to be
[B][COLOR=“MediumTurquoise”]I did this part^ but am unsure of the next part… Do I purl the part that I just knitted for 1 3/4" or the next set of stitches?? then I am unsure of what it means exactly by the next part, " continue to knit the same amount of rows/inches asyou did the first half of your brim… i think i understand the final part with the 2 needle bind off part…[/COLOR][/B]
[B]-Knit one row of purl for turning
-Continue to knit the same amount of rows/inches 1 3/4”(2”, 2.5”, 2.5”) as you did the first half of your brim. It helps to make a tally as you go so you have the same number of rows on each side.[/B]
-To seal your brim, perform a three needle bind off (but keeping stitches live)
Looking at the cast on edge, you will see a row or sts that look like a chain; they run horizontally and are in the “middle” of the two loops. You will pick up each chain loop, one sts at a time using a dpn ( a size 4 works great). Holding that needle with the picked sts parallel and to the back of the live sts on the left circular needle, use the right circular needle to knit both the sts on the left circular needle and the picked up sts on the dpn together. Continue around until all the sts from the cast on edge are knitted together with the sts from the circular needle.

Exactly. Easier than you thought.
