Notes:

This pattern is worked flat and then seamed at two ends to form the sack hat.
Embroidering the face:
- To embroider the mouth, I basically took my yarn with a yarn needle and made a straight line to create the mouth. I then stitched over it to keep the line in place.
- To embroider the fangs, I just stitched one line on each side of the mouth.
