Row 70 SC in first 5 st, skip last 2 st, ch 1, turn ( 5 sc)
Row 71 SC in ea st (5 sc), finish off, leave LONG tail for sewing the wig together
It should look like this:
Meet end of bangs (last crocheted row, marked 1 in photo) to other side (first crocheted row, marked 2 ), starting at very middle of first row, sew together, then sew up and over the bangs see arrows, tie off. Then sew across the top of the head see long arrow in photo, fasten off. Then sew the final seam, meeting longest row with middle of the top of head seam (see arrow), tie off. Pull in all loose ends. Now, find your wig form, maniquin, or another rounded item (ball?) and place hat over it, pulling into shape.

I found that lightly misting it with water, patting and pulling into shape, and allowing to dry helped with the shaping. I even used my iron to give a short burst of steam in a couple of places helped it form into shape don't forget to leave it on your wig form (or whatever) until it's completely dry to make sure the shape is kept.
Best of luck with this pattern. Please let me know if I've left something out, mixed up the row count numbers, or whatever else I might have overlooked.
