Sew the hat to the head.
If you want to make an Amanita (fly agaric) mushroom, then embroider spots on the hat in a chaotic manner, or crochet the desired number of circles from semi-cotton yarn (6 sc in MR, sl st, fasten off, leave a tail for sewing).

Tightening:

You will need 2 pieces of strong thread. Tighten as much as possible, trying to grab as much stuffing as possible.

Take the first piece of thread and insert it at point 1 (1st row of the head, parallel to the edge of the eye), bring it out at point 2 (5th row of the head, as close as possible to the edge of the eye), insert the thread at point 3 (5th row of the head, as close as possible to the edge of the eye), bring it out at point 4 (1st row of the head, parallel to the edge of the eye, in the neighboring stitch to point 1). Tighten, tie several knots, hide the thread inside the head.
Tighten the second eye in the same way, but follow points 5-6-7-8 (these points correspond to the same relative positions as 1-2-3-4 but for the second eye).

Detailing:

Embroider eyelids, eyebrows, mouth, and nose with black thread as shown in the photo accompanying this pattern.
