Tassel

Make a tassel.  I used 2 colors of yarn, purple and pearl gray and this method demonstrated by KnittingsbyJudy, but I wrapped a lot more yarn around the cardboard to make it thicker.  Attach tassel in the center of the purple hat crown.

HAPPY HOOKING!

Now you will begin the tapestry crocheted letters.  For a more detailed tutorial on how to do tapestry crochet read this post.

I'm going to spell out how to do the first line of the tapestry chart so you know how to do it. Read the chart from top to bottom, starting with Row 14.

For the next 4 rows (Rnd 15 to 18) you will start the same way,
Ch 1, sc in same sc and in next 25 scs(18 scs for the woman's size, see the W line), start next sc, add burgundy yarn, then you will follow the chart.  At the end of the chart, make sure you have switched to soft white yarn and then sc in each sc around. Make sure to sl st in the beg sc at the end of the rnd. (84 scs, men's, 72 scs, women's)

Rnd 19: Ch 1, sc in same sc and in each sc around, sl st in beg sc, fasten off leaving a tail for sewing. (84 scs mens, 72 scs women's)

Assembly

With burgundy yarn backstitch around the edge of one of the the hand pieces.  Make sure the thumb is facing to the right. Then backstitch the fingers.

Whip stitch the 2 hand pieces together, stuffing as you go.

Make a stitch in the center of the back of the hand and pull it through to the front to make a crease in the hand.

Sew the hand onto the front of the hat.
