Pattern This hat is made in the round and are not joined at the end of each round (I like using this method with half double crochet because the join likes to go sideways) Round 2: 2 hdc in each stitch around (20 hdc) Again, do not join. Move your stitch marker to the first hdc of round 3. With red make a magic ring (or ch 3 and join to first ch to make a loop) Round 1: ch 1, hdc 10 into ring (10 hdc) Remember not to join. Continue the next round working in the first stitch of round 1. You will be working in a spiral.

Fasten off, weave in the ends.

SEWING Sew the black circles to the center of the white eyes using the long tail and yarn needle. Leave a long white tail for sewing. Weave in other ends. Then I used my stitch markers to pin the eyes in place. I used the long tail and yarn needle to sew them to the hat Repeat for the nose Lay all your pieces on your hat how you want them. I put the eyes between round 4 and 8 and about 2 stitches apart. Then I placed the nose between them slightly overlapping. Place the mouth centered under the nose Repeat for the mouth. Try to stretch up the picots to get that deep smile shape. Weave in all your ends
