Do you have a piece of white colour yarn all the way through the hat? How does that work? Also how do you finish off the red yarn?

Looks cute, want to make it for my baby nephew :)

So I've started this pattern and I'm on row 33 and so far it looks as tho the yarn and point is really stiff and won't bend over like the hat in the pic....will this change by the end of the pattern or should I be using a different yarn? I went with a red heart weight 4
