ASSEMBLY
   I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best.
  Place one of the pentagons on top. The other 4 pentagons space them out evenly around the beanie above the third round from the bottom. Sew them in place. I personally like to sew my pieces with matching thread instead of the left over yarn.
