Hair

Starting with CA yarn, cut 3 strands of yarn 6″ long. Thread the yarn through a yarn needle and at the very top of the hat pull the needle through so that half the yarn is on one side and half on the other side. In other words, 3″ on one side, 3″ on the other side. Remove the yarn needle from the yarn. Now knot the yarn as close to the hat as possible. Trim the ‘hair' down if you don't want it to flop all over.

Beak

Starting with CB yarn,

ch 4

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next st, dc in next st, cut yarn, fasten off, weave ends

With CB yarn and a yarn needle, attach the beak where you want the face to be. That would typically be the front, middle of the hat. Once you are done stitching around the beak, weave ends and cut yarn.

Eyes

This is where you will need the two black 1/2″ buttons, needle (not yarn needle), and white tapestry thread. Place the buttons on the hat where you want them to visually measure it out. Attach the buttons to those places with the needle and white tapestry thread. Knot the thread in the back to secure it and weave it in. Cut any extra thread off.

Mini Top Hat

For the mini top hat I used this pattern along with CC yarn, J hook and a yarn needle. Then stuffed it with stuffing and attached the mini top hat to the hat.
