Seth the Skeleton Hat is another hat that came to mind when I was thinking of different hats to make for Halloween. I wanted to make sure it was friendly for children but y'all needed to be able to see what the hat was by looking at it. I'd love to know what else y'all come up with to add or change!

Eyes
For the eyes I used this pattern's eyes with a J hook and CB yarn. I made 2 eyes and attached them on rounds 3 to 6 with CB yarn and a yarn needle. Once finished, cut yarn and weave ends.
Mouth
To make the mouth, I hand stitched it in CB yarn and a yarn needle. To start, stitch a regular smile a few rounds below the eyes. Next, stitch lines through the smile. After that, cut yarn and tie both ends together.
Nose
I used CB yarn and a yarn needle to hand stitch the nose. I made an upside down “v” without the point centered between the eyes and mouth. Then cut yarn and tie both ends together.
Back seam view.
I hope y'all enjoy!
