your yarn needle and at least 2 yards of white yarn. Don't get
overwhelmed, but this might get a little tricky...
We're going to start where we marked our stitches in row

Using the same principle as a corset, you're going
to continue to lace up the two rows until you reach your
other marker *do not pull tight until you have it all laced up*
cut string and fasten off –
Once you turn the hat right side out, you should have a
mini-brim or duck bill type thing going on

and attach to the top of the hat, make as many or as few as you like
Sew all your face pieces on and ta-da! You've just
made some child very happy!
Eye position is VERY important, they must be above the
nose and close together. Otherwise he’ll look scary
You can adjust for sizes by adding or subtracting
stitches or changing hook sizes
Also, if you choose to tack the upper lip down, make sure
you do that with white yarn AFTER you sew on the mouth
