There are some basic materials needed to complete this
pattern. You will need the following supplies:

R8 - DC in each stitch around
until you reach the starting point. Join and CH 1 (CH 2 if making 3-6 month

*Note - If you are making the
larger size hat (3-6 months) with the I hook, add an extra row here. Just DC in
each stitch around until you reach the starting point. Join and CH 1.
R9 - Working
in back loops only for this row, SC in each stitch around until you
reach the starting point. Join and CH1.
R10 - SC in each stitch around
until you reach the starting point. Join and tie off. Weave the excess yarn
into the back of the hat. (See picture of finished hat, without eyes.)
Eyes:
Make Two
Step 1 - CH 13. Leave a long
strand of yarn at the beginning.
Step 2 - HDC in third chain
from hook. HDC in the next three stitches. 2 DC in each of the next four
stitches. HDC in the last four stitches.
Step 3 - CH 2 and join the
bottom ends of the pieces. SC in the four spaces across (See pictures). Tie off
and leave a long end. You will use this end to attach
the eye to the hat.
Step 4 - Use the long end of
yarn from your starting point to weave the center opening together (See
picture). Go up the opening and then back down. When you reach the bottom,
weave the yarn to the opposite side of the other yarn end.
Step 5 - Place the eye at the
appropriate area of the hat and sew it on using the second long end of yarn
(See picture). The correct area should be one row down from the top of the hat.
When you have finished sewing the eye onto the hat, tie the two yarn ends
together inside the hat to secure it.
Step 6 - Glue the wiggle eyes
onto the hat using fabric glue. The hat should sit overnight to ensure the glue
dries. You may also wish to use a clothes pin or other item to hold the eye on
while the glue is setting. (See picture)
