Pull yarn through remaining
stitches cinch and weave in ends.
Add buttons for eyes and nose!
Make 4 pom poms.
1 large gray, 1 smaller black,
1 even smaller gray, and 1 tiny black.
You could either affix them to
the back of the hat as I did, or run yarn through them and string them from the
back of a hat kinda like a Davey Crockett look.
Ears:
For the ears, pick up 6 stitches - knit 4 rows garter and then ssk, knit to last 2 , k2tog, repeat last row one more time and then bind off last 2 stitches. (Borrowed with permission from kstefx on ravelry)
