- Tie the 2.5 x 40 cm piece of material around the neck for the scarf. Cut the excess.
- To make the hat, mesure the head's diameter and cut the piece of material the desired size. Do not forget to cut the piece a bit bigger then needed to allow for stitching on the width. Sew (or glue) the piece of material on the width. Put glue on the hat's inside bottom and glue it on the head. With the piece of wool, attach the hat at the top to make the pompom.
