PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
 Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
 There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
 Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
 The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
 You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.

  Rnd 1: 8hdc in magic ring, sl st into 1st st (8)
  Rnd 2: ch2, 2hdc in each st around, sl st into 1st st (16)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

  Rnd 1: sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next 4 sts, ch2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st along the side, the top and down the other side 'til you reach the first ch2 we made
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.


ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on a white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     BODY to HEAD...sew the body to the head by 5 stitches only.
     TOP HAT...sew it to the head whoever you like.

     ARMS...using light brown yarn, attach the yarn on the 3rd stitch furthest from the head.

Right Arm: ch5, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next ch, ch2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in last 2 chs, sl st where you attach

F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

Left Arm: ch4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, ch3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next ch, sl st in last 2 chs, sl st where you attach
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

     EYES...using black felt make 2 small circles and place them in the head in the position you like best.
     NOSE...using orange felt, make a small triangle and glue it in place.
     MOUTH...using black embroidery floss or thread, make half a smile.

     BUTTONS...using black embroidery floss or thread, embroider some buttons down the center of the body. I did french knots to create the buttons.
     SCARF...using a thin ribbon tie it around the neck. You might want to glue it in place, so it doesn't move or come undone.
     OPTIONAL...embroider a thin line across the top hat so it doesn't look too simple.
