I wish I had a baby to model this on (7 more weeks until my baby girl arrives!) because the pictures of this

as well

Antennae Pattern (make 2):
Magic Ring, Chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, continue to work in rounds. Use a stitch marker if needed.
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next stitch, repeat around (9 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 4: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Round 5: SC Decrease, SC in next 2 stitches, repeat around
Round 6: SC Decrease, SC in next stitch, repeat around
At this point you want to stuff the “ball” with poly-fil and continue
Round 7-12: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
Fasten off leaving a long tail to sew onto hat or feel free to continue SC in rounds to make longer.
I did not stuff the rest with poly-fil so they would have a little flop to them, but you could stuff them to make
them stick up straight before sewing onto hat.
Use your tapestry needle to sew the bottom round of stitches onto the hat. I placed mine along the first
black ring, evenly across from each other.
Tushie Cover Pattern:

Magic ring, chain 2 and make 11 DC in magic ring, join to first DC, chain 2

Round 7: Slip stitch or SC in each stitch around (I chose to slip stitch)
Stinger Pattern:
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 4 SC inside the ring, continue to work in rounds. Use a stitch marker if
needed.
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (6 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next two, repeat around (8 SC)
Round 5: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 3, repeat around (10 SC)
Round 7: SC in each stitch around (10 SC)
Round 8: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 4, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 9-10: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto tushie cover
Stuff stinger with poly-fil and use your tapestry needle to sew the bottom round of stitches onto the middle
of the tushie cover. It should be almost the exact width of your first round so use the first round as a guide
to help you sew the stinger on so it is centered.
