ASSEMBLY
- Sew the arms at row 17.

- Embroider the eyes between rows 22 and 23 with 4 stitches between them.
BEARD
Attach the white color yarn in round 27, two stitches beside the eye.
You will work the beard by making 2 chain stitches and connecting in the face with a slip stitch (min 16:12 of the video part 2)
Continue making this process of chain 2 and joining with a slip stitch until you achieve a nice beard shape.
To avoid gaps on the beard, make the process in every stitch of the round you are working.
Add the hat in Santa’s head. To add a nice shape, you can give a stitch placing the top part of the hat a little bit to the side.
To sew the hat is optional to you.
I sew the hat on mine Santa Claus because I want to hang him in the Christmas tree!
