Round 7: SC DEC over two SC, 6 times. (6 SC DEC)

Stuff head with polyester fiber fill or stuffing for shape

Round 8:  DEC around until closed, tie off.

Putting it together:
Use a yarn needle and yarn to attach the eyes, nose and hair.
I also used black thread on the eyes to create eye lashes.

I made the little bows because I thought it would be fun to have a little more color on the hat, but they aren’t neccesary.

Good luck!  I am going to attempt to make a cookie monster beanie as well.  We shall see how it turns out.
