Beard (White Yarn) Cut strands of white yarn approximately 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) in length. Using a crochet hook, attach the strands like fringe around the upper-middle portion of the body (just where the hat will cover). Attach strands side-by-side across a width of about 3–4 rounds. Trim the beard with scissors into an inverted 'V' shape or straight across. Optionally, unravel the plies or brush out the yarn for a fluffier beard look. 5. Assembly & Hanging Loop Hat & Body: Attach the hat over the top of the body (using the inner back loops left from Rnd 15 of the hat) and sew securely into place. (Optionally, add a small amount of fiberfill inside the hat). Nose: Sew the nose right in the top-center of the beard, tucked just beneath the edge of the hat brim. Hanging Loop: Attach a loop at the tip of the hat by chaining stitches or using a twisted cord in a contrasting color.
