Directions:
Ball is made with two halves.
This project is crochet using rounds. You will need to mark your stitches to keep your place. To help keep track, place a stitch marker at the beginning of the first round, then slip the marker when you come to it on each round. I like to use a safety pin to mark my rounds.
I also suggest using a pencil and note pad or a row counter to keep track of the rounds you have worked

Embellishment for hat: (optional) With 2' scraps of green and red yarn, create a two strand friendship knotted chain.
How to make friendship knots: 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!

Hair and Beard:
With Wuzzy White
This part is tricky and takes some “eyeballing” on your part. I started by joining the yarn with a sc where I thought the hairline should be. Working in a circular pattern, I picked up stitches around the head to create a hairline. I did this for about 3 rows. I did the same “eyeballing” technique to place the beard in place.
When the hairline and beard were done, I added rosy cheeks using regular facial blush and a cotton swab.
