- Cast on 85 stitches using knitting needles. Knit in turning rows. Work 18 rows in stockinette stitch.
- Then we will make one decrease at the beginning and the end of every right-side row.
- Knit in this way, until there are two stitches left on the knitting needles, knit them together, fasten off the thread, and cut. Fold the triangle we made in half and sew. Stuff slightly. Leave the lower part empty.

Beard:
Cut a triangle from a piece of white fur. The width of the triangle will depend on your body size. My width is about 14-15 cm.
The height of the triangle is (the length of the beard) 17 cm. Choose any length you like.
Assembly:
- Start assembling the toy with the nose.
- Sew the nose between rounds 41 and 43.
- Sew the arms to the body sides at the same level.
- The beard should fit closely to the nose, forming a fold above it. The beard width should be enough to place it from one arm to the other arm. Sew the beard so, that the top edge is located at round 44 (except for the space where it is located above the nose).
- Sew the hat in the way that it covers the top part of the arms and slightly covers the nose. Finished!
