R2 – 5: Sc around [5]

Sl st into the next st, FO, leave a long tail for sewing.

Finishing:

1. Start by sewing in your ends on the hat. 
2. Sew the inner ear onto the ears (make sure not to sew through both sides of the ear)
3. Flatten the hat to see where to place the ears best – I like to place mine between rows 5 and 6.
4. Sew the horns to the hat just inside the ears – I like to place mine on row 4, then I like

to center the muzzle on the lower rows of the hat and sew it on.

5. Finally, I place the eye patch just above the muzzle and on the right side of the hat.

Assembly Notes:

• When all these pieces are sewn down, I weave in all my ends for the ears and horns.
• I use the eye patch tail to sew the buttons on for both eyes, and then use the muzzle tail to sew on both nostrils.
• I place the eyes just on the inside of the middle 8 sts of the muzzle between rows 7 and 8.
• I place the nostrils at either end of rows 1 and 2 of the muzzle.
• Once the eyes and nostrils are sewn in place, I finish weaving in my ends, and we’re done

Enjoy your little one’s new hat.
