Green Vine:
Chain 15 for 26 weeks, 20 for 28 and 30/32 weeks. hdc 3 times in the 2nd chain from hook and all remaining chains, this will cause the piece to curl. Sew to the centre top of the beanie.

Eyes: Make 2
ch4 (counts as ch1 and first dc), dc into the first ch twice. ch1, turn, sc 3.
Sew onto hat

Mouth.
Using black yarn, backstitch a mouth on the front of your beanie. You can get a bit creative with the mouth shape, option for a smile, or a more traditional zigzag.

Of course, you could leave the eyes and mouth of completely and just use the hat as a pumpkin instead of a jack-o-lantern.
