Hat Detail: Using a strand of yellow yarn and your needle, surface stitch or embroider a straight line completely around the base of the hat’s cone (right above the brim at Round 6) to look like a hat band.

Use the yellow yarn.
Inside a Magic Ring, work the following sequence two times: [Chain 2, 1 dc, Chain 2, sl st].
Pull the magic ring closed tightly, fasten off, and leave a tail to sew the bow onto the hat band.
Face Details & Assembly
Eyes: Split your dark brown yarn so you are only using 2 strands. Embroider thick vertical lines for the eyes on Round 6 of the head, leaving exactly 3 stitches of space between them. Wrap the yarn 2-3 times to make the eyes stand out.
Whiskers: Using the same brown yarn, embroider two small horizontal lines on each side of the face. Place them between Rounds 6–8, about 2 stitches away from the outer edge of each eye.
Mouth: Using 3 strands of yellow yarn, embroider a tiny little nose/mouth shape directly in the center, between and slightly below the eyes.
Assembly: Sew the single white ear to one side of the head. Sew the orange witch hat to the top/opposite side of the head at an angle. Finally, attach the tiny tail to the bottom back of the head so it sticks out gracefully!
