Pom Pom

White yarn make a pom pom

My method:

Use 2 pieces of card

Put the 2 pieces together

Wrapping the yarn round the two pieces

Tie a piece of yarn round the middle of the yarn on both sides.

Cut the yarn between the two pieces of card.

And then wrap them together to make a pom pom

Attach the pom pom to the hat

Moustache part of the Beard

Join with ss to 12 from the end that attaches to the hat

Put the beard against the hat and sew the buttons onto the hat where the beard should fasten (the ch space button hole)

Now you have the choice to leave the beard like that or sew or ss the beard together at the edge so the beard is only not joined at the 8ss of the moustache.

Your hat is now finished 
