It's not too bad Anne.....first I wind the yarn around a business card or credit card, a few times, and then cut across one end to make several short lengths. Then I fold a couple pieces in half, pull through a stitch on the hat, and then pull the ends through the loop and tighten. Is this making sense at all LOL?
Here is a link to the pattern I sort of followed and she gives a great tutorial on how to attach the mane:
I'm just back for another peek. I LOVE this hat. I do hope we get to see it on a child in some future distribution photos. I'm still trying to figure out how you attached the mane - that yarn is fantastic, but it must be a horror to work with.
Thanks ladies! The hair is a thick & thin yarn that I had for ages and finally found a use for LOL!
I will post them on the discussion Anne, I forgot to do that. Thanks!
XOXO
Mary Anne - this is just SO cute! Will you post it into the discussion as well? If you need me to do it let me know. (and I'll move your elephant square too if you want me to)
