Grouchy Greenie Beanie Pattern

As promised, here's my pattern for a "Grouchy Greenie" who, surprisingly, looks like the Grinch. I hope you like him! Stay safe and warm, Merry Christmas and God Bless!
                  ((NOTE: you can use any cap/beanie pattern you choose.
                       As long as it's a tight weave and fits, it's okay! o.~))

With black, follow directions for making the pupil.
Stitch the middle together (but not too tight) making a lop-sided figure 8. (see pics)

Mouth

Attach to cap in a "crooked" grin. (see pics)

Using the long tail, sew the facial features onto the cap with the embroidery needle. Or, if you prefer, use a sewing needle with color matching thread. Weave in any tails very well so they don't slip out!
