With accent color (I used espresso), attach yarn and SC around the entire bottom edge of the hat (including earflaps). Fasten off and weave in ends.
Cut 6 long strands of the same color yarn and 3 strands of the main hat color, pull yarn halfway through last loop of the earflaps (you now have 18 strands). Knot, braid, and knot again at the end of your braid. Trim ends of braided tails so yarn is even. Do this for both earflaps.
Note: To make face embellishments bigger, use a larger hook and use a G hook for slightly smaller parts, I used a J Hook for the face and an H for the eye patches and nose.
Leave long tail to sew onto hat.
Face:
Chain 12, DC in 3rd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain. Make a total of 3 DC in last stitch. Now working on other side of chain, DC in each stitch and make 3 DC in last stitch. Join to first DC, chain 2.
Round 2: (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)-do that 4 times, 2 DC in next 3 stitches, (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)- do that 4 times, 2 DC in last 4 stitches. Join to first DC. (38 DC)
Round 3: Chain 2, (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)-do that 6 times, 2 DC in next 6 stitches, (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)-do that 8 times, 2 DC in last 7 stitches. Join to first DC.
