Leaf Cluster Repeat: Ch 1, work 1 x in the first loop. In the next loop, work (1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc) all into that same stitch. In the following loop, work 1 x, then sl st into the same stitch.
Repeat this sequence all the way around the ridges to form the ruffled tree leaves.

Assembly: Insert the 5 mm safety eyes onto the tree face. Use a hot glue gun to securely attach the cheeks, the hat on top of the tree, and the pompom onto the hat. Stuff the body firmly before closing or securing any base layers.
