Assembly:
Place the panels on top of each other with the wrong sides facing the inside. You will be joining
the 2 pieces together. You will go through both pieces to join the front and back panels together
using the corresponding colours. Just a little tip, use white as the corresponding colour for the
face just in case your beard sections don’t quite reach the hat brim, it will make it less
noticeable. Sc in each st around (put 3 sc in the corners). Don’t forget to stuff firmly before
closing. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
Use some blush to highlight the nose and cheeks.
