Santa’s Beard: Use White yarn to create small “V” shaped embroidery stitches directly below the nose area.
Snowman’s Scarf:
Chain 55.
Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in every chain across.
Slip stitch back along the opposite side of the initial chain to add thickness.
Tie the scarf around the Snowman’s neck and secure it with a small stitch.
Hat Style: To achieve the bent hat look, fold the tip of the red hat to the side and use a needle and Red yarn to tack it down to the side of the hat.
