Happy hooking!

Finishing

Cut 10 8" pieces of white, join to body with latch hook knot in rnd 14 or 15 of body. Split the yarn ply with a needle. Fit hat over head, I try to tilt it back just a bit, it should cover latch hook knots. Secure hat to head being sure to keep beard hair spread.

Attach nose close to the hat, I try to keep the beard spread here as well.

Weave in ends, trim beard to your liking and enjoy!
