How many stitches does it take to sew the seagull hat?

Eight stitches.

1, starting from 8 stitches, weave 15 rows to complete the first horizontal bar, and pick 8 stitches for the next stitch to continue weaving the second horizontal bar.

2. The second horizontal bar is woven into 16 lines (all the lower lines are woven into 16 lines), thus weaving into seven long strips.

3. The last stitch of the next stitch row and the two stitches on the starting edge are combined into one stitch (one stitch every other row), so that the eight stitches in the first row are completed.
