Body and hat are the same:
Cast on 20 stitches,
knit every row for 22 rows.
Cast off. (I used them in opposite directions.)
Fold in half, and sew into tubes.
Gather one at the bottom for the body then stuff.
Note:

For a firm standing ornament, first place pebbles or a sandwich
bag with rice in it before stuffing.

Or insert a small circle of cardboard.

2. Cut a 1.5 inch square of pink fabric. (If you don’t have pink fabric, tint some white fabric with face blush.) Either sew or glue the fabric square to the top of the body shape.

Prepare the hat: sew into a tube, gather at one end. (I wrapped the yarn end around several times near the end.)

3. Place the hat over the body, sew or hot glue in place.
