Pull yarn tight and knit across starting at beginning of row again (so you form it into a tube as you go)
Keep knitting this way until tube is about 3” long, end off and weave in end.
 
Make a second one. Sew them to top of hat, about 2” from center, across from one another.

Work 12 dc into center of circle, join and end off, cutting yarn about 12” long.  Weave this end of yarn up and down through the 12 dc tops and pull tight into a ball, then stitch securely onto the sides of the red hat.
 
Make 6 spots and evenly spread them out around the sides of the hat.
