*Important Color Changing Instructions*

When directed to change colors, insert the hook and draw up a loop with the original color first, then loop the new color over the hook and pull through the loops on the hook. The actual color change on the sweater will not appear until the next st.

Example: when working in orange, change to white: First, insert hook and yarn over with orange and pull up a loop, then wrap white around the hook and pull through the two loops on the hook. The stitch itself will be orange; however, this is counted as your first white stitch. (Images below).

Glue together. Glue three leaves to the center of the bow and then three berries on top of the leaf. Glue to the hat, covering the seam of the ribbon.
