Ch 2
 Round 1) 6 hdc in 2nd ch hk (6), leave enough yarn to sew to hat
Take the spare yarn at the start of making the nose and pull up through the middle and fasten off so it looks like a nose.

Attach the items to the hat, pictures below show them in the order I attach them: ears, nose, mouth & whiskers, eyes, button.

       
Mouth
To make the mouth you put your hook from front to back and pull a loop of yarn through.  You then move to the next hole and put the hook from front to back and pull a loop through the hat and the loop you have on the hook.
