Hats Assembly

Take the tail from one hat and loop it through both hats for a total of about 9 stitches together

Stuff the hats and roughly place where you nt them on top of the head, I like to use needles

Then use a needle or a hook and sew the hats onto the head, hiding extra tails inside of the hats

Take some yarn of the same color, and pull it through the sides of the hats

Double knot the two ends of the yarn you pulled through to make the bent effect and hide tails inside of the hat
