ASSEMBLE THE HAT

ASSEMBLE THE HAT

rows above the bottom of the hat (not including the brim rows). Tie off and weave in ends.
2. Using black sewing thread and needle, sew black buttons onto the hat. The eyes should be positioned in the middle of
2nd and 3rd rows above the duckbill. Tie off and weave in ends.
3. Pinch the duckbill to make a shape.

Or use your best judgment and place the duckbill and eyes where they look best to you.
