Using the yarn tails and yarn needle, sew the features to the hat. Note: No matter which size, attach the eye patches 1 1/2" from the bottom edge of the hat and the beak 3/4" from the edge. Step 2: Using black thread and a sewing needle, stitch two 3/8" flat black buttons to the patches, just above the beak and spaced approximately 1/2" apart. Step 3: Place the feathers side-by-side on your work surface. Using the yarn tails on each feather and a yarn needle, stitch the feathers together along the 1st four sts on the bottom-side edges. Step 4: Pin the feathers to the back of the hat, just above the last increase row. Note: This row will be different for each hat size. Thread light brown in the yarn needle and sew the bottom edge of the feathers to the hat.
