Cut 4 pieces of black yarn about 3 inches long. Attach by inserting hook under desired st and pulling through loop to tighten. Eye: With white and G hook. Start with a magic circle of 6 sc, sl st to first st to join. Rnd 1: 2sc in each stitch around, sl st to first st to join. (12) Rnd 2: Sc in next st, 2 sc in next, repeat around.

Mouth (Optional):
You can stitch on a mouth freehand if you prefer or you can ch 15, with G hook and black yarn. Fasten off leaving a long tail at the end for attaching to the hat.
