Repeat until you have about 24 rounds. Measure to ensure it fits snugly around the angel’s head.

Crochet a round of sc along the bottom edge of the hat and make a loop in the seam.
Finish with a round of sc and a slst to close.
Save yarn to attach the hat to the head later.

Attach the collar to the body, keeping the top holes aligned.
Embroider a small nose by sewing back and forth in the same spot a few times.
Use black yarn to embroider the eyes.
