• Tighten the ring and slip stitch to the third chain of the beginning chain.

Round 2:

• Finish the round with 24 stitches.

For Round 3:

Round 4:

• There will be 40 stitches for this round.

Creating the Hat:

• Switch to red yarn.
• Make ten single crochets, carry yarn tails with the work.
• Switch colors again as needed and follow the pattern provided for steps, including working double crochets, half-double crochets, and creating a popcorn stitch at the edge of the hat.

Creating the Beard:

• Continue with the creation of the beard by making chain spaces and working on double crochets and treble crochets in a pattern.
• This includes making a second layer of the beard with specific instructions on chain and treble crochets.

Converting to a Square:

• Find the beginning chain, and work into specific stitches to begin converting your work into a square shape.
• Follow the instructions to create chain spaces and work double crochets in a pattern that gradually forms a square.

Making the Beard Detail:

Finishing Touches:
