- Round 3: Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat around. (18 stitches)
- Round 4: Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat around. (24 stitches)
- Rounds 5-8: Continue increasing in this manner until you have a wide cone shape. Stop when the hat looks like a small, pointy cone. Fasten off and weave in ends.

4. Assembling Santa
- Place the hat on top of the face and sew it in place.
- Attach the beard securely, spreading the strands evenly to cover the lower part of the face.
- Use black yarn to embroider simple eyes and a small dot of red yarn for Santa’s nose.
5. Finishing Touches
- If you want to make this into a stuffed ornament, fill it lightly with stuffing before sewing the back.
- Use red yarn to create a hanging loop at the top of Santa’s hat.
