Embellishment for hat: (optional)
With 2’ scraps of green and red yarn, create a two strand friendship knotted chain.

How to make friendship knots:
http://parentingteens.about.com/od/activitiesorteens/ss/friendship1_2.htm
Alternate red knots and green knots until you have a long cord.
Wrap the cord around the base of hat and up through hat to make a ornament hanger.

Stuff hat and stitch to head
I like to tilt the hat a bit to give him some flair
Merry Christmas!
