With wrong sides facing, hold piece # 1 and piece # 2 together. Working through both layers of the outer round: Single crochet in each stitch back to start, join in first single crochet. If preferred, you can lightly stuff the head with poly fiber fill before sealing it up completely.
Fasten off.
You can now sew the hat on top of the head. Place the seamed head pieces between the two brim layers of the hat and use the hat tail to sew through all 4 layers, going across the whole length of the brim.
